Mile High Academy Walks for Worthy Students

Mile High Academy hosted it’s first annual Walk-A-Thon on Friday, October 4. Students raised more than $20,000!

The day started with a special chapel on the Mile High Academy Soccer Field led by Mrs. Rebecca Berg. Students and faculty were encouraged to obtain sponsorships either per lap or a flat donation.  More than 30 volunteers and parents helped with the event. Depending on the number of laps completed around the field, students were treated to popcorn, Mile High Academy swag, and popsicles. Volunteers counted approximately 4,700 laps that were completed by PK – 12^th graders. Students were encouraged to not only see who could get the most sponsorships but also see who completed the most laps.

“To have such an overwhelming response for this first Walk-A-Thon speaks volumes about our Mile High Academy family,” says Jocelyn Aalborg, VP of Finance and Development. “We appreciate all the support given so all students have an opportunity to attend Mile High Academy and receive a Christ-centered education.”
