This year, Spirit Week concluded with Molloy’s annual Stanner-A-Thon on Friday, April 26th! Formerly known as the Walk-A-Thon, the Stanner-A-Thon is Molloy’s annual community fundraiser in support of important campus upgrades / capital projects. The event includes a 3-mile walk around Briarwood for grades 9 through 11 as well as a variety of fun events for the senior class. The Stanner-A-Thon promotes community and encourages students and our Stanner families to work toward the common goal of bettering our school for all.
Seniors had the opportunity to sign up for Basketball Free Throw, Dodgeball, Family Feud, Game-A-Thon, Quiz Bowl, Theater-A-Thon, a Wellness Workshop, and the Br. Leo Walk to the World Trade Center. Each event was unique and offered a different experience to serve the interests of the Class of 2024. Seniors also have the opportunity to participate in the Br. Leo Walk, an over 11-mile trek from Molloy to lower Manhattan. This walk, which first started 20 years ago, is inspired by the memory of the late Br. Leo Richard, founder of Molloy’s SMILE program. Br. Leo was known to take long walks and use them as opportunities to connect with and better get to know people. The walk is organized annually by Guidance Chairperson Mr. Dougherty ’91, who was counseled by Br. Leo. This year, over 80 seniors participated in the walk – the most ever!
In all, the Stanner-A-Thon provided a great way to put a cap on a very memorable Spirit Week. Thank you to all students, faculty, and staff for your contributions to this amazing week!
