What to Expect for the 2024 One Walk
Celebrating 54 years of faithful footsteps for Christian Education
We are thrilled to gather together for our One Walk for Christian Education on Friday, September 20. The One Walk to benefit Sheboygan Christian School, has been held annually since 1971, and has raised thousands of dollars to beautify and improve our school while keeping tuition costs competitive. In the early years, students (including some of our grandparents) walked from Cedar Grove to SCS—a hike of nearly 20 miles! For the past several years, the One Walk has taken on even more meaning since the approval of both school associations to join campuses and make this school a PreK-12 Christian school. For the fourth straight year, all SCS students will receive Christ centered education from ONE campus on Greenfield Ave! This is a vision and dream that has been prayed over for years has now become a reality due to the generous support of our community and continued work of God.
The One Walk is a 5K course through our surrounding neighborhoods. SCS community members walk this route to raise funds for Christian education. In advance, students will be seeking donations in support of their efforts. Our generous sponsors help us guarantee that every pledged dollar goes directly to making SCS the very best school we can be!
See below for the schedule and additional details to help you plan ahead for this event!
