FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Students, teachers, and parents at Gordon Elementary School at the Linden Oaks housing area participate in the school’s first annual walk-a-thon Oct. 2. Julia Goodrich, a teacher and the event’s coordinator, said, “This is the first big community event we have had since the school opened. It’s the ideal kind of fund raiser because we can get the kids and the families involved without asking the kids to go around selling things.” The Gordon Elementary Parent Teacher Association will receive the funds collected by students for the walk-a-thon. Goodrich explained, “Every penny collected will be spent at Gordon for our children.” The goal for the school is to reach $5,000, but even if that is not achieved, Goodrich is pleased by the community response to this event.
