What is it? Steps for Students is a 5K run/walk fundraiser that benefits all 50+ schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Registration has opened in August 2024.
When is it? SAVE THE DATE for the 20th Anniversary Race: Saturday, February 8th, 2025. The race will begin at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and wind through downtown streets on a marked 3.1-mile course.
Why register? Our Lady of Guadalupe receives a large portion of every registration that is linked to our school. Each registered participant will have an online fundraising page. Our school receives 100% of the funds raised on an individual’s fundraising page.
Who can participate? Sign the whole family up! This event is open to all who wish to register and run/walk the 5K. There is also a “snooze for students” option for those who do not wish to participate in the run/walk but want to support our school and get the Archdiocese’s official race day t-shirt!
Steps t-shirts: each race registration comes with the Archdiocese's official race-day shirt. However, OLGCS likes to show our own spirit! The school has its own themed shirts every year, which the students can wear on Mondays with jeans. This year's theme is "Don't Stop Believin' in Jesus", inspired by the classic Journey song. Orders must be placed by Monday, September 23rd, 2024. After this date, please contact Mrs. Watso for any available shirts.
Sponsorships: We invite families and/or businesses to sponsor our Steps for Students t-shirt! Fill out the form below and email to [email protected] by Monday, September 23rd, 2024. Steps sponsorships qualify towards each family's FFO.
