Join us for Run for the Roses Family Dinner & Auction
Ontario Christian welcomes back our family event held March 9th at our high school campus.
We’re off to the races with a family friendly event, featuring a traditional Italian dinner, free inflatables, pony rides, and an exciting grade level race you won’t want to miss! Shop the amazing opportunities at the raffle and live auction, and enjoy the program featuring students in special Q&A, theater, jazz band, and more!
What sets our campus apart from other schools, is providing an atmosphere that is in line with our moto “Growing Christian Leaders”. With our Run for the Roses Derby Auction, we asked our teachers and students where they would like to see campus improvements. The bets are in, and the proceeds will enhance campus security, remodel bathrooms, and accommodate our growing campus with additional shade!
