FAQ
If my student was absent/sick on September 15, can they still participate?
YES! If your student was unable to run with their class, they may participate remotely. Time them running around your neighborhood for 20 minutes and track their mileage. Send an email to fundraising@st-johnschool.org with their name, grade, teacher and mileage by September 21.
