Gables Bridge 4 Peace Walkathon
Posted: 02/02/2010
The IB sponsored Gables Bridge 4 Peace Walkathon will be held Saturday, February 13th beginning at 10:00 A.M. on the school's athletic field .  The Gables Bridge 4 Peace project began 3 years ago with the adoption of 10 impoverished elementary schools in rural Honduras.  That year Gables students collected nearly 40 large containers of school supplies for the children there.  Last year, Gables held its first walkathon raising over $6,000 for desperately needed classroom construction for its sister school in the Dominican Republic.  This year, the goal is to raise $10,000 to finish the school construction begun last year and to donate to the Haitian relief effort.  This year's event will include  more activities -- teacher dunk tank, rock climbing wall, mechanical bull, music, and lots of food.  Everyone is invited to attend.
