The Springer Walkathon has been a beloved Los Altos School District (LASD) tradition since 1987. What started as students knocking on neighbors’ doors for per-lap pledges has grown into a student-led fundraiser and community-building event. Through Walkathon, students get involved in supporting THEIR school, learn to set and achieve a goal by working together, and develop a sense of belonging, responsibility, and ownership related to their school. Walkathon donations help our PTA fund supplies for PE, art, library, STEM lab and each classroom as well as music & dance for TK-3, social emotional learning, lunchtime activities, library books, all our community events, and more. 

At the Walkathon event, our students walk to earn the donations they’ve received and to earn medals and prizes. It is the most fun day of the year as we celebrate our Springer Stinger community! Kids walk and run while parents relax in the shade or follow along. The DJ music, food trucks, and bonus laps keep us all going!
