Bay Ridge Catholic Academy held its annual K-8 Walk-A-Thon Day May 31.
The event raised $17,000 for improvements such as a new main entrance and classroom air-conditioning units.
Students walked from the school to McKinley Park, where they participated in games and other activities and enjoyed a pizza and Italian ices party.
The sixth grade led the walk, during which many kids carried creative, self-made signs.
