This year marked the 43rd annual Scholarship Walk. At my school, we hold this scholarship walk in order to raise money for scholarship students at our school. About 25% of the students are on a scholarship, or have some form of financial aid.
We arrive in the morning and are treated with hot chocolate, donuts, bagels, and other sweets before getting a solute from our seniors and entering the trail.
The trail is a six mile loop. Middle schooler's only have to walk/run six miles, but the high school do two six mile loops.
In past years, the students pledged money for how many miles they ran, and the walk/run was much longer. Now, the walk is much shorter and people don't pledge for how many miles they run.
At the 4 and 10 mile mark, we stop at a beautiful balcony looking over the park. There, we are given refreshments and encouragement from parent volunteers.
