The 14th Happy as a Clam 5k Race, Walk and Fun Dashes - powered by Great Marsh Brew Co, our exclusive Flagship Sponsor - is Friday, September 16, 2022! This event is open to anyone who wants to support a community school and all the wonderful enrichment programs the students hope to enjoy throughout the year.
