Walkathon | Saturday October 21, 2023 | 10am-2pm
Walkathon was the most fun day of the year as we celebrated our Springer Stinger community! Kids walk laps to earn prizes and medals while parents relax in the shade. Family and friends show their support through student fundraising. The music, food trucks, and bonus laps keep us all going!
We’re asking parents to work with each student to reach a goal of $150. PTA has raised only 10% of the annual budget needed to fund art programs, music/dance for TK-3, lunchtime sports & activities, PE/art/classroom supplies, library, and more! STUDENT FUNDRAISING CLOSES FRIDAY 10/27!
If you’d rather donate than participate in student fundraising, you can do so HERE. You could also choose to not create a student site and ask friends and family to donate HERE in support of your child’s school.
Thank you for coming out to Walkathon! There’s only one thing left on the to do list!

STUDENT FUNDRAISING
STUDENT FUNDRAISING is back! Our STUDENTS can get involved in supporting THEIR school. Please help your children create their student fundraising page and share it with your friends and family so they can support Springer.
YOU DO NOT HAVE ENTER EMAILS INTO THE TOOL TO SEND!
Collaborate with your child to personalize their page with photos, videos, and their words about their school. This is a chance for our students to set a goal and work toward it. A default goal of $150 per student has been set and you can raise or lower it.
Each student page should join their Grade Team to compete for participation rewards.
Once your student’s page is ready, use the social media and email buttons at the top of the page to request support from family and friends! You do not need to input email addresses into the tool to ask for support!
PLEASE WORK WITH YOUR STUDENT on this as a learning experience!
VOLUNTEERING
PLEASE consider volunteering next year. We need volunteers to plan in the weeks ahead, the day before, the morning of, during the event, and after to help make it all work.
If you have a teenager who’d like to volunteer, sign up for a spot and put their name in the note field!
