Summer Flashback: Annual Trike-A-Thon kicked off the season

Summer is winding down and it seems like the months have flown by. Classes have started for many public schools and the nights are getting cooler. Here’s a look back at an event that kicked off the summer…

Gilead Christian School held their Trike-A-Thon event over the Memorial Day weekend in late May. Parents and friends gathered to cheer on their favorite ‘racers’ as the students raised funds for the pre-school program. The race has become a favorite annual event.

Here are some photos that will put a smile on your face!
