Thanks to everyone who came out to run or volunteer or cheer on the participants in last Sunday's Capitol Hill Classic and make our school's largest fundraiser so successful. 3,420 folks participated in the 10K, 3K, and Fun Run - the largest group to run the race in its 30-year history! Special thanks to Josh Raymond and Lori Goss, race chairs. Thanks also to Don Montouri for heading up marketing, Shelley Smith for volunteers, Kathleen Brady for registration, and Elizabeth and Richard Brooks of Effervescence Studio for community outreach with their Classic Training Challenge.
