One small step for students; one large step for Saint Anselm Catholic Academy.
The Pre-K-8 school, attached to Saint Anselm parish at 365 83rd Street, celebrated its 22nd annual Walk 4 Education walkathon on Wednesday, October 15, a fundraiser that organizer Wendy Benitez said benefits both the students and the school each year.
“Each year the students walk for a better education,” said Benitez as she and fellow parents geared up to chaperone the walk which went off without a hitch, despite a few rainclouds overhead. “We do it so that the children know the importance of a Catholic education and also so that we can raise money to strengthen that education.”
