The Santa Sprint Walk in Lake Luzerne

LAKE LUZERNE, NY - On November 19, 2007 the Santa Sprint walk began at the Hadley~Luzerne Central School parking lot. The woman running it for many years, Mrs. Mary-Claire Noakes went on the walk, also. The program has been ongoing for 24 years. This year the 3^rd, 4th, 5th, and 6^th graders together rose over $8,000 to pay for kids who could not afford their own presents for the holidays.

Mrs. Noakes hoped to raise $9,000 this year. Over 120 school children went on the walk; the amount aimed for was 130-150 kids. Many adults went, too. Most of these walkers rose over $30, which was the minimum requirement to be able to participate. The top pledge collectors were able to go shopping for the presents for the ones being helped.

Mr. Trowbridge and Mr. Diamond from SMTMS went on the walk as well. Mr. Trowbridge announced that “November 19^th is now officially Santa Sprint Day in the towns of Hadley and Lake Luzerne!” Everyone cheered happily and loudly as he finished saying this.
