Runner-up Rocks!

The 2016 Georgetown Walk-a-thon was a HUGE success!  As a school, we raised over $18,000!  The support and generous donations of students, parents, family, and community will make a significant difference in our building!  Thank you!!!

The students in our classroom grabbed hold of the everybody-doing-something attitude and parents supported it…which resulted our classroom having the second highest participation in the school!  The result?  Donuts from Sprinkles!  Runner-up does rock!  Please take a look at the slideshow below to get a taste of our celebration!
