​

Let’s make tracks while raising money and building our community!

​

Why do we Walk-A-Thon?

• Because it is FUN! Students, staff and families have a chance to get together for the good of our school!

• This is the last chance to fundraise for the PTA Annual Fund so we can continue to provide classroom aides and programs not fully funded by the district or state.

• The Envelope Drive in the fall is our anchor fundraising event; student and family participation is always great! But we have a long way to go to meet our budget needs for the 2024-25 school year.

• Our school's student population increased by 40% which has increased our fundraising needs!

  • Our dollars will need to stretch further to ensure every child at our school receives a quality education and is able to enjoy all of the elementary curriculum enhancement experiences! 

• Spirit Week takes place the week of the Walk-A-Thon!

  • Monday, May 27: (Holiday/No School)

  • Tues, May 28: Pajama/Comfy Day

  • Wed, May 29: School Colors Day, or wear blue!

  • Thurs, May 30: Game Day! Wear your favorite sports team or colors!

  • Fri, May 31:  Walk-a-Thon Day!  Wear your Walk-a-Thon shirt, and any fun socks, headband, or hat you’d like!  

​

How do we raise money?

• Every student is asked to set a fundraising goal of $100.

  • We will collect donations via our 99pledges website.  Enter your student's name and get started!

• Donations are not tied to laps walked – they are flat donations prior to event in support of the student/school.

• If a family donates $1,000 or more, before matching, you will receive a personalized paver located at the front of the school! (engraved summer 2024)

​

Quick Facts:

• Every student will receive a Walk-A-Thon t-shirt to wear at the event.

• All students can participate as the event will take place during the school day.

• Students will be dismissed for the day at the normal time.
