Approximately 550 participants and countless volunteers celebrated the 10th Annual Student Stride for Education Saturday, raising almost $20,000 for the Washougal Schools Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that provides teacher grants and scholarships.

The Student Stride for Education aims to promote fitness and learning. It included a 5K race for experienced runners, closed-course runs for grades kindergaren through fifth-grade, and a ‘kiddie dash’ for those 5 and younger. In its 10 years, approximately $200,000 has been raised through the sponsorship of local businesses.
