Tupelo Elementary School Hosts Trike-a-Thon

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — Students at one Tupelo school were riding tricycles to raise money for a well-known children’s hospital.

The annual St. Jude Trike-a-Thon was held at Tupelo’s Early Childhood Education Center.

All students in the pre-kindergarten program were able to collect donations from parents, friends and relatives.

Each class spent 15 minutes riding around the parking lot this morning in front of the school.

Organizers say the event helps youngsters become more aware of the work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Also, some students and teachers have family members who have been patients at the Memphis hospital.

Last year, the event raised $7,000 for St. Jude.
