Walkathon Fundraising Update
|
|
|
A big thank you to the 200 + Walkathon Volunteers!
Collectively our students ran 13,647 laps and so far have raised over $37,000 in pledges. Great job everyone! Individual lap counts are posted on the window of the PTA room and the top grade runner medals will be handed out at the 11/6 Assembly. You will receive an email notification of assembly times if your child is receiving a medal.
Today is the last day to submit donations to qualify for Walkathon prizes! Also, please don't forget to double your donations with Corporate Matching, it only takes minutes but can really add up for our PTA.
