5 Things in Attleboro Today: Students at Dayspring Walk to Raise Money

Who should you know about?

Students at Dayspring Christian Academy

Students in Kindergarten through Grade 7 at Dayspring Christian Academy of Attleboro participated in a Walk-A-Thon Tuesday afternoon to benefit the school’s general fund.

According to Administrator Frank Rydwansky, students walked laps of approximately one-half mile apiece in the adjacent parking lot of the South Attleboro Assembly of God Church. Students were chaperoned by DCA faculty and staff members and most were appropriately attired in T-shirts and shorts on a clear and brisk afternoon.

Students solicited donations in advance from family members, relatives and friends based on the total number of laps walked. Grade 8 students did not participate since they have completed their classroom obligations for the year and will graduate during a formal ceremony Thursday night.

According to Rydwansky, the Walk-A-Thon is an annual fundraiser at DCA and generates “a substantial amount of funds for the school.”
