Molino Park Raises $1,028 With Math-A-Thon For St. Jude
April 24, 2013
About 40 first and fourth grade students at Molino Park Elementary School recently took part in the St. Jude Math-A-Thon.
Students were asked to complete a workbook full of math problems and collect pledges from sponsors. The school worked to make sure that every student that completed a workbook had a sponsor — including some faculty and staff teaming up to sponsor some students.
The event raised a total of $$1028.91 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“The students learned more than math problems,” said Molino Park first grade teacher Angie Bodiford. “They learned a valuable lesson of giving.”
This was the first year Molino Park had participated in the fund raiser.

So proud of not just Matthew but all our kids. A special thank you goes out to Angie Bodiford for giving these kids the chance to help other kids. It really came to life for Matthew when he watched a St Judes commercial, got all excited and said “Momma, that’s who we get to help raise money for”.
Way to go Matthew. Love Aunt Kat
