Students at Akin Road Elementary participated in a Tiger Trot fundraising event where they collected pledges for laps run around a course. Volunteers tracked the number of laps each student completed while other activities included checking out vehicles from the Dakota County Mounted Patrol, Farmington Fire Department, and ALF Ambulance. The event also featured a duck game and face painting, and was supported by local businesses as sponsors. It was another successful community event that raised funds for the school while boosting school spirit.
