A special fundraiser will be held for North Mahaska Elementary this week.

The 2nd Annual North Mahaska Elementary Walk-A-Thon will be held on Friday, October 10th. The idea was built upon one used in a neighboring school district, and staff started a Walk-A-Thon Committee and planned the first event, raising $12,000 in its first year. Students collect monetary donations from friends, family, and community patrons and all proceeds from the Walk-A-Thon benefit students.

Individuals wishing to donate to the North Mahaska Elementary Walk-A-Thon may do so by dropping donations off at the elementary office or mailing donations to PO Box 89, New Sharon, IA 50207. You may also call the elementary office at 641-637-4041 if you have any questions.
