Four martial-arts schools in the Renton area have collected $15,319 for Communities in Schools of Renton.

The schools are Kim’s Tae Kwon Do, Exceed Martial Arts, Ms. Mari’s Martial Arts Club and Lee’s Martial Arts Renton/Maple Valley.

Receiving the donation Thursday was CISR executive director, Sue Paro.

Friday at noon students from all four schools will break boards at the IKEA Renton River Days’ Kids Fair in Liberty Park. This is the fourth year that the students, dressed in bright orange shirts, will march to Liberty Park to break boards with their martial arts kicks and strikes.

This is the biggest fundraiser for the schools: all the money goes to keeping Renton’s youth in school.

This year, students will make a small detour and march past the Salvation Army’s booth to drop off their canned food donations for the “Feed the People, not the Ducks” campaign.
