Washington Walk-a-thon

Each year, the PTO sponsors a Walk-a-thon for its major fall fundraiser. This fundraiser is a fun and fit activity for kindergarteners through fifth-graders to help raise funds, self-esteem and fitness awareness.  Our students ask for community support by getting pledges from sponsors before the big event. On the day of the Walk-a-thon, students walk as many laps around the school as they can in an hour time period. This year’s event is 9/26/2014.

Funds raised from the Walk-a-thon are used to fund many school programs, including:

·         bringing artists and authors to the school

·         mini grants for teachers

·         improvements in technology

·         music programs

·         playground equipment

Volunteers needed for before, during and after event. Lots of chances to help with this important event.  If you would like to volunteer or have any questions about the Walk-a-thon, please contact Stacie Van Deusen @ vandeusens@yahoo.com.
