HELP US REACH OUR GOAL!
Without the help of our community the Lafayette Walk- A- Thon would not be what it is today. The sponsorship from our community has enabled our school to fund student programs that would otherwise cease to exist. This year as a courtesy to our local business’ we are doing a “one ask” procurement process – which means we only approach a business once this school year. Business donations are due September 29th (more details here) to ensure we recognize their sponsorship on our various pieces of media that will highlight their company’s involvement.
