Pride Stride 2024
October 10, 2024


​Pride Stride is Coonley's annual student fitness fundraiser that gives the entire community - parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors and friends - the chance to make a difference in our school.


​On event day, students will run, walk or dance their way around the Coonley campus based on grade.

The day will kick-off with an all school pep-rally, followed by students running laps by grade throughout the day. The day ends with a special Color Run for the 8th grade and then the closing ceremonies where we "hopefully" get to announce that our goal has been met! Parents are encouraged to come out and cheer on their kids. 

Money raised will be used to keep class sizes small and provide social and emotional support for students.

What is Pride Stride?

It builds community

Pride Stride gives the entire Coonley community – parents, relatives, neighbors and friends – the chance to support our school. On event day, spectators are welcome to come out and show their Cougar pride.

It promotes fitness

Leading up to Pride Stride, students focus on health and fitness goals. On the day of the event they walk or run laps around Coonley's campus and take part in fun group exercises with their grade level.

It supports Coonley

To help Coonley continue its tradition of excellence, students and families gather sponsorship pledges that help pay for Coonley's outstanding academics and extracurricular programming.
