Stride, Sprint and Splash: LVD Fun Run ‘23

Students and staff assembled as early as four AM, initiating the parade at five AM from the main campus, and took the route around downtown, and its final stop at the DWU exit.

The event commenced with a heartfelt prayer delivered by Xania Songalia. Following this is a Zumba session that brought a dynamic energy before the Fun Run proper.

Bobby Berida, an alumnus, won first place for this year's Fun Run Activity. Followed by Elijah Cordeta from Grade 11 Our Lady of Fatima, and Seth Van Suri from Grade 10 St. Paul as the third placer. The winners received medals, certificates, and cash prizes as recognition for their efforts.

To level up the excitement, the first ten who arrived at the finish line received chocolates from the school principal, Sr. M. Andrea G. Tomanda, OSF-DM.
