The SJ5K will raise much needed money for five families in need in our community on Sunday May 1. The run/walk was started in 2011 to raise funds for the family of Jesse Lindlbauer. Jesse had suffered a ruptured brain abscess and his family was dealing with many medical expenses. The National Honor Society at P-CEP created the race to help his family. Since then the race has supported 14 families by raising over $230,000.
Rebekah McBride spoke with Charlotte Clark, SJ5K Coordinator, about the impact of the race and the five families that will receive from this year’s race.

88.1 The Park Celebrates High School Radio Day – Wednesday April 20
88.1 The Park uses local radio to invest in the lives of young people and serve the Plymouth-Canton Community. But you might be surprised to find out that 88-1 is located at Salem High School and is run by students at Plymouth-Canton Educational Park.
We know that the students of Canton, Plymouth and Salem High School are fortunate because not every school has a radio station. Because of this unique opportunity, we’ve joined with other high school stations to celebrate High School Radio Day on Wednesday April 20. On that day, we hope to bring awareness to the programs offered on 88-1 as well as high school radio stations throughout the country.
