“We are very proud of our students for working so hard to raise money for St. Jude through Math-A-Thon,” said Darcie Cullers, coordinator of the event and fifth- and sixth-grade math teacher. “Our school, students and community have helped St. Jude in its work to find cures and save children.”

Math-A-Thon allows students to build and practice essential math skills while they raise funds for kids battling cancer at St. Jude. The program works in the following way: Teachers serve as volunteer coordinators for Math-A-Thon at their school. Participating students solve math problems in a printed or online Funbook. Students ask family and friends for donations in support of their participation in the Math-A-Thon. All donations are sent to St. Jude, where no child is ever turned away because of the family’s inability to pay.
