Our SHS Glow Run event today was amazing! Thank you to all of our volunteers who made this an awesome experience for our students. Thank you to our teachers who gave our students two weeks of fun with special classroom rewards. Another big thank you to our families who reached out to friends and relatives to get pledges for our students. We receive pledges from 37 states and 10 different countries, and 79% of donations came from outside the parent community.
Drum roll please...we raised over $38,000 for St. Helen! We achieved all our stretch goals and wore GLOW GLAM gear during the run, plus the students will enjoy an ICE CREAM TRUCK and BOUNCY CASTLES on Field Day where they will also get to turn me into a HUMAN SUNDAE! MyBooster.com, our fundraising platform, will remain open for 1 more week for any last minute donations. A final round of prizes will be delivered after Easter break. Don't forget to use your Sky Zone jump pass by the end of June.
Thank you again for your support of our SHS Glow Run fundraiser! Scroll down to enjoy the photos of the event!

Volunteer Guidelines
At St. Helen, we encourage parents and family members to volunteer for various opportunities throughout the year, including field trips, fundraising events and after-school activities.
All school and parish volunteers, priests, deacons, seminarians, and pastoral center employees must adhere to the Compliance Guidelines. These guidelines outline the required conduct for those involved in the community.
According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, all individuals who volunteer around the
students must complete the following to be compliant.
