Fun run raises more than $10,000

Students and staff from Woy Woy South Public School raised $11,289.80 for their school in a fun run on May 2.

"Students pounded the pavements seeking sponsorship from family, friends and members of the local community to raise money for their school," said Fundraising Group manager Ms Sarah Morgan.

"Thanks to their enthusiasm and hard work, extra funds are now available to provide new school resources such as library books and school equipment.

"Woy Woy South Public School's highest fundraiser was Miguel Acevedo-Moreno who raised $310.45."

The school now has a chance to share in $16,000 cash, which is available to schools replacing the traditional chocolate drive with more healthy alternatives such as fun runs.
