   On a beautiful Saturday morning, more than 550 individuals registered for the 36th Annual Hazelwood PTA Council Scholarship Run/Walk event. The event took place at Hazelwood Central High School on May 13. The run/walk event was comprised of several categories including a 5K, a one mile run, a color blast, and fun runs for kids of all ages.

“The number of participants taking part in the Run/Walk really speaks volume about the Hazelwood School District support for our students and the importance of this scholarship fund,” said Kimberly McKenzie, director of communications for the Hazelwood School District (HSD).

“I’m glad to know so many of our students, Board, staff and community members came out in support of this event. It appears everyone had a great time.”

For more than three decades, this family-friendly event, along with other PTA Council fundraisers have raised more than $3 million for the Hazelwood PTA Student Scholarship Fund, which benefits deserving HSD graduating seniors. Since the program inception in 1959, Hazelwood PTA Council has provided more than 3,200 scholarships to students.

“This was truly one of the best run/walk events that we’ve held in a long time,” said Terri Butler, Hazelwood PTA Council president. “Participants who came out and supported this event had beautiful weather. I appreciate the teachers, staff, students, vendors, HSD board members, HSD administrators, and St. Louis County Police for supporting this very important event.”
