Third- through eighth-grade students walked from Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy to Highland Park as part of their annual Walk-a-Thon.
Joining them in their efforts to raise money for the Brooklyn school were members of the 75th Precinct and the Cityline Ozone Park Civilian Patrol.
More than 100 students were asked to pledge a minimum of $25 for the end-of-year event so that Blessed Sacrament can make much-needed repairs over the summer.
After reaching Highland Park, the students played sports including basketball and volleyball, showing the power of working together and being part of a team.
“It just feels good… at the same time,” one student said.
“We get to… leave each other,” another added.
Pre-K and second-graders also walked around the rectory as part of the fundraiser.
