SSU’s Children’s Learning Center Participates in Annual St. Jude Trike-A-Thon and Trick or Trike

            The Shawnee State University’s Dr. Miller and Genevieve Toombs Children’s Learning Center (CLC) participated in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon program in October. The program teaches children tricycle and bicycle riding safety and raises money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
            The children also participated in a Trick or Trike event that raises money for St. Jude’s. The children go on campus to different offices and the university staff gives the children candy along with monetary donations for the hospital.
            More than $700 has been raised by the CLC students this year with additional pledges still coming in. Pre-school teacher Hetty Phillips leads one group of children to Massie Hall.
