DID YOU KNOW THAT SACS HAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL MARATHON IN THE TWIN CITIES?
The annual Marathon is intended to be a fun but purposeful fundraising event to support our SJA - Shakopee Area Catholic School. Students participate in the Marathon by obtaining pledges from family and friends and then walk, run, or bike a 5K Marathon route. A successful marathon directly impacts our families by enabling SACS to sustain affordable tuition and purchase quality instructional resources. Learn more about our annual Minnesota Marathon for Non-Public Catholic Education below.
