Narragansett School’s sixth annual 5K race will be held May 5. This race has been a significant PIE fundraiser and healthy family event for the school for the past five years, raising money for updates to Narragansett’s technology, indoor and outdoor recess equipment, and the district’s band program.
This year, the school will continue its efforts in raising funds to be used for educational resources and different enrichment programs for students.
