WOW Classes Celebrate Annual Trike-A-Thon

WOW students took part in Benjamin’s school-wide community service project by hosting their annual trike-a-thon to benefit students at the Edna W. Rudner tutorial center in Jupiter, Florida. The center serves over 100 disadvantaged youth in the community through tutoring, homework help, and after school snacks.

The three and four-year-old Benjamin students presented Program Director Travis Conway and Executive Director Ms. Rudner with over 657 gently used books.

“The West Jupiter community group has been providing services to students since 1986,” said WOW teacher Jeaneen Garcia.

Garcia said a representative from the organization came to speak with WOW students about some of their needs which spurred the decision to collect books for the center.

“A lot of our kids are being read to by their grandparents, aunts and uncles. I want to tell you Benjamin, give yourselves a pat on the back and I’ll just blow you a great big kiss,” said Rudner.

The WOW students then raced on their tricycles around the track on the lower school basketball court, pedaling as fast as they could to the cheers of parents, classmates and faculty.
