The Annual Fin Run: A Tradition of Giving and School Spirit

The NPES Fin Run is a beloved annual tradition that empowers our students to actively support their school by collecting donations for the NPES Fund from family, friends, and loved ones. This fun, student-led event fosters community spirit, promotes wellness, and teaches the value of giving back.

This year’s Fin Run was held on Friday, October 11, 2024.

Our goals remain the same each year:

  • Unite our community
  • Reach 100% family participation
  • Raise over $30,000 in support of the NPES Fund

If you're interested in sponsoring next year's Fin Run, please contact Erin Leyden, Director of Development, at leyden@npeschool.org.
