HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THE WALKATHON?
Here are ways you can participate in the Walk-a-thon and Auction
Sign-Up to Volunteer
Sign-ups are online. Click on the Sign Up button to volunteer for one of the many open positions. There are over 300 fun ways for you to volunteer and we need hundreds of parents to help make this event a continued success.
Help Your Child Gather Pledges
For personal asks, practice with your child in advance so they are comfortable asking people for pledges and explaining that the money is being raised for their awesome school! Safety is critical - be sure they don't ask strangers. All pledges on the sponsor card are tax deductible. A copy of the sponsor card can be given to the people who request a donation receipt. Online donations are also available!

Get Out and Get Walking
Kindergartners have been known to average 20-30 laps. Just imagine what the 5th graders can do! Regardless of grade level, they all need to get their leg muscles ready! Walk together after school to build up strong muscles (and spend quality time together). Don't forget to wear good, supportive shoes and bring a change of socks!
Donate Toward Raffle Baskets
At the beginning of the school year, your child's room parent will request a small monetary donation for raffles and refreshments.
We also need donations of baskets/containers (medium to large only), cellophane and ribbon. If you have items to donate please contact Robin Lai.
Donate Sweet Treats
We need your baked goods donations. Baked goods will be collected the Friday prior to WAT.
