St Michael R C Primary School Hosts
Hon. José Abelardo Mai CLIMB of DEATH #6
The Climb of Death 10.3 Mile Run is more than a test of physical endurance, mental strength, and perseverance—it is a powerful act of support for the students of St. Michael R.C. School in the Orange Walk District. Located at the very starting point of this iconic race, our school stands at the heart of the challenge and the purpose behind it.
Now in its sixth year, Climb of Death serves as one of our primary fundraising initiatives, directly supporting the much-needed infrastructural development of our school. Funds raised help improve learning spaces and facilities that enable our 360 enrolled students to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
Over the years, the St. Michael family has grown tremendously through this event. What began as a race has evolved into a united community of runners, parents, sponsors, and supporters, all working together to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to every participant, parent, and sponsor whose generosity and commitment continue to turn perseverance into progress and miles into meaningful change.
— Mr. Dyel J. Cal, M.Ed.
