On Thursday, October 9, 2025, Northrop students aren't just taking a walk—they're making a difference. The 2.75-mile Walk-a-thon to Minnehaha Falls is more than a tradition; it's our annual fall fundraiser, and every step is worth the walk!
Donations collected from this event go to the Northrop PTA to help fund two impactful programs that empower our students and community:
- Midwest Food Connection: Providing hands-on food education in the classroom.
- Every Meal: Giving weekend meals to students who need them.
Donations can be made online. Watch for more event details coming home from school, including volunteer opportunities.
