Sophia Academy Hosts Annual Corrigan Family Scholarship Fun Run

On Friday, April 27, students participated in the school's annual Corrigan Family Scholarship Fund Fun Run led by Floy Daugherty and Coach John Turner. Students circled the entire school, receiving marks on their T-shirts to indicate their accomplished laps, which were run to raise money for the Corrigan Family Scholarship Fund and Gym Campaign. The school's parking lot was filled with music, a water station, several parent volunteers and friends of Sophia, and even sprinklers students could run through to cool off. The top students to raise funds will be awarded with a special trip in a limousine to a pizza lunch with the school's founding director, Marie Corrigan.

The Corrigan Family Scholarship was established in 2005 by an alumni parent to benefit a Sophia Academy student who has displayed the most significant improvement overall during the school year. This year's Corrigan Family Scholarship recipient will be announced at the school's Character Trait Ceremony to be held May 23.

Sponsors of this year's event include: State Bank & Trust, Realty Associates of Atlanta/Costa Panos and Speech-Language Pathology Associates, Inc.
