THE VISION
On March 17, 2026, our students will participate in Walkathon 2026 — a campus-wide event designed to help launch our R$2.5 million expansion project to build four new classrooms.
These classrooms will allow us to have two classrooms per grade from Kindergarten through 5th grade, strengthening our academic excellence and preparing for future growth.
We believe that what we build today will shape tomorrow.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1
We move forward in faith, trusting that God is building something lasting in our community.

THE WALKATHON
Date: March 17, 2026
Location: School Soccer Field
Duration: 40 Minutes
Goal: R$250.000
All 400+ students will participate and receive an official Walkathon shirt.
Students will walk around the soccer field for 40 minutes, with music, school spirit, and celebration.
Sponsors may give:
-
A donation per lap
-
A flat pledge amount
Each student has a recommended minimum participation goal of R$100, but we encourage every family to prayerfully consider how they can go beyond.
Our student goal is to raise R$250,000 — not because construction depends on it, but because participation builds ownership, stewardship, and unity.

They are not just walking.
They are building something bigger than themselves.
