The Move-a-Thon is Friday, May 24!

The Move-a-Thon is a super fun student participation fundraiser where students run, walk, skip, and dance laps around the playground to raise money for the playground, recess equipment, and Learning Gardens.

If each student can raise $50, we’ll meet our fundraising goal!

 

We’ll need your help!

Help your child reach out to friends & family and ask them to support the Move-a-thon, send this this link to make a pledge

Volunteer the day of the event to help punch lap cards, cheer on students, hand out waters, and more

Come to to Move-a-Thon to cheer the students on!

 

How it Works:

  1. Students collect pledges or donations starting May 5. Donors can pledge by flat donation or per lap around the playground completed (expect a student to complete 15 to 20 laps).

    • If pledging by flat donation - donations are collected online via GiveButter

    • If pledging by the lap - talk to your student, they will note and track your pledge via their paper pledge sheet and follow up after the event with the final total

    • We suggest a flat dollar amounts to eliminate the need for follow up

  2. Friday, May 24th is the Move-a-Thon at school! Each grade has 15-20 minutes to make as many laps around the playground as they can. Volunteers will track of laps for each student and the total laps your student completed will go home that day. Be sure to check your student's backpack for their lap total.

    • Come by the Skillin Playground to cheer on the students!
