Ripona Elementary School’s annual jog-a-thon brought in some $10,000 for the school in the hour-long run Wednesday morning on the school’s turf – bested only by the excitement seen on their faces. Some 430 students donned their “cool” blue school T-shirts priding their “Mustang” tradition that goes back some 20 years organized by the Ripona Parent Faculty Club. There were countless parents and teachers on the field guiding the students onto their age-appropriate courses and counting their laps – all wearing a “Mustang” shirt of their own.The run began shortly before 10 a.m. and was slated to continue until 11 with lunch periods to follow.
