Our Goal
The marathon is not only a great day filled with outdoor
activity and community building, we also use this event
to close the funding gap between our school and
other Stillwater public schools. St. Croix Prep does not
receive any of the local tax levy funds that the local
district receives. This ‘gap’ amounts to over $2 million
per year. We must work together to close this funding
gap for our students.
Our goal for the Marathon is $150,000
Funds raised will support annual operating costs
including student technology, textbooks, classroom
furniture and equipment, and facility improvements.
This will be our 12th St. Croix Prep Marathon!
Over the years, this event has raised over $1MM.
Past purchases have included/raised funds for:
- Discovery Trail
- Built-in cabinets in our classrooms
- HDMI ports installed in all project locations
- All projector control input panels updated
- Built-in cabinets for the lower school
- Mobile computer labs
- Textbooks
- Classroom literature
- Smartboards
- Student scholarships
