Striving for Excellence, Together We Learn by Doing
April 25, 2012
Dear Newton School Community Members,
Only at Newton! The benefit for Elijah Leingang was a tremendous success thanks to the overwhelming community support on Saturday, April 21st. More than 600 people, young and old, turned out for the breakfast and 5K run/walk. The sight of so many coming together for a noble cause was awe inspiring!!!
With such a huge crowd, the community was able to give a sizable donation that will go towards Eli's medical expenses and to CureSearch. The benefit was obviously for Elijah. However, what we often fail to realize until an event like this is over, is that it was truly a "benefit" for the community, as well, to gather for the common good of a one of our own!! The fellowship was great! Events like this are what make our community, our school, and the Pleasant Hill area so special!!
There are no other words to describe this event and what it has done for Eli and the community other than the familiar refrain of "Only at Newton!"
Sincerely,
Pat McBride
Superintendent
