AUGUSTA A labor of love and service at St. Michael School will return next week after shifting to become a virtual event last year because of the pandemic.
The annual St. Michael School and Travis Mills Walk-athon will be held inside and outside the school on Wednesday, May 5. In 2020, an exercise challenge was held in its place, with students and staff participating from home.
This year, the school community, which has enjoyed in-person learning all year, will participate in the walk-athon in person as well, raising money for the Travis Mills Foundation through pre-obtained pledges.
