Pumpkins and Turkeys and Walking, Oh My!
Amidon-Bowen Elementary School Teams Up with DASH to Help the Homeless

Southwest, DC — Amidon-Bowen Elementary School in Southwest Washington partnered with DASH in support of this year’s Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon. The school is hosting a “Pumpkin Dash” and “Turkey Dash” mini walk, as well as a poster contest to raise awareness about homelessness in our city.

Kindergarten through sixth grade classes will participate in activities in October and November. Students who walk in the mini walks held at the school may also participate in the November 21st Walkathon with their parents.

We extend our thanks to the wonderful faculty and staff at Amidon-Bowen Elementary School for their support and commitment to help make DASH’s first year in the Walkathon a success. Very special thanks to Ms. Gloria Tobe for her tireless efforts coordinating all of the activities at the school, and to Principal Almita Hawkins for her enthusiastic support!

Thank you!
