Schmucker Middle School Teachers Race for a Cause

Students and staff at Schmucker Middle School started this Tuesday with a schoolwide assembly full of laughter, school spirit, and community support — all for a great cause.

In an effort to raise money for Riley Children’s Hospital, Schmucker teachers donned inflatable costumes and hit the track for a fun-filled race in front of the entire student body. Students could donate $1 to place their “vote” on who they thought would win, with a couple of lucky participants earning a $25 gift card.

The friendly competition brought plenty of cheers from the crowd, and in the end, it was L.A. High — P-H-M Secondary Teacher of the Year and one of the Top 3 finalists for Indiana Teacher of the Year — who crossed the finish line first.

The event not only raised funds for a meaningful cause but also highlighted Schmucker’s strong sense of community and commitment to giving back — all while creating a memorable, joy-filled experience for students and staff alike.
