St. Andrew’s students collect pledges for this hour-long Race for Education - a favorite annual event for our children and parents alike. Students run around the 1/4 mile track as many times as they can over the span of an hour (half an hour for preschool). All students receive a ribbon. Students running the most laps receive a Certificate of Recognition. Parents submit address labels for friends and family who would like to sponsor their child in the race. New families will receive a blank label sheet to neatly write addresses on in black ink. Previous participants will receive a label sheet printed with addresses to revise or add additional addresses. Addresses are not be used for any other purpose than the Race for Education.
The Race for Education is seeking sponsors for 2026. Sponsors can donate online via ParishSoft Giving, or send cash or check to : St Andrew the Apostle School c/o Race for Education 6720 B Union Mill Road Clifton, VA 20124
