Follow our progress in the weeks leading up to the event as our students gather pledges and work toward fundraising goals, earning fun incentives and prizes along the way. The celebration culminates in the Stride Day, when students take to the streets of Ralston for a spirited walk filled with energy, community pride, and school spirit. Funds raised through the St. Gerald Stride directly support important programs, resources, and improvements that benefit our students, staff, and school environment.
Funds raised allow St. Gerald Home & School Association to support activities NOT covered by the cost of tuition including (but not limited to):
- Sacrament celebrations
- Catholic Schools week events
- High School Scholarships
- Classroom Technology
- School Renovations
- Field Trip transportation
- Enrichment & Educational programs for Staff & Students
