St. Isidore marathon Friday
St. Isidore School students will participate in the Annual Marathon on Friday, October 4 at Litomysl. They will walk about two miles to and from the large rock in the woods south of the school. The purpose of the Marathon is to raise money for the school. It is also intended to remind the general public of the Nonpublic Schools' contribution to the community by providing a quality education for many tens of thousands of citizens. The students, teachers, families, alumni and friends of all Nonpublic Schools in the State of Minnesota are invited to participate and/or sponsor. St. Isidore Schoool would be very appreciative if anyone would like to help out. You may pledge a student or send a donation to St. Isidore School at 9970 SE 24th Ave, Owatonna, MN 55060. Your donation is tax deductible. If your employer has a "matching funds" policy, this is an easy way to increase the profits. It is hoped that $4,000 can be raised.
