The Stone Independent School

This Friday, the race is on.

This Friday at 10:30am, Board President Sarah Hurley, Dean of Students Alex Funnell, and Head of School Mike Simpson will walk out of Stone and race across Lancaster – all to see who can be the first person to get to Tellus360 and dump a cup of water on their head.

Standing between the racers and Tellus?  Twenty increasingly difficult challenges – challenges the racers haven’t seen yet – each designed to test their stamina and their mettle as they race across Lancaster.  Every single dollar we raise during the ExtraGive unlocks harder challenges, and every single dollar we raise during the ExtraGive becomes support for our Financial Aid program.

Every $2,500 that we raise will “unlock” a new challenge that the racers will have to complete before they get to Tellus. The Racers don't know what the challenges are -- but we will reveal all of them to our followers at 6pm on Thursday!

But: the racers have supporters who can help them move more quickly!  If you’re a fan of a racer, you can scroll down to "power ups" and give them bonuses.  Like: access to a RAZR scooter...or maybe even a car.

But! You can undermine the racers too! Scroll down to "power downs" if you want to slow a racer down! Power downs include everything from doing Yoga With Adrienne in Binn's Park...to getting on a plane, flying to California, and returning via ground transportation!

And!  Every single person who supports Stone during The ExtraGive will be able to vote on additional challenges thrown until the race is over!

If you support Stone, you can play along at home!!

Stone is one of only a handful of schools in the country that is 100% need blind – that means we meet 100% of our students demonstrated need – and it’s your support of this “extraordinary” race that will help us stay need blind forever.

Meet the Racers.
