What is Walkathon? Check out the Walkathon Info Packet (sent home with your child on Sep 20) and this fun parent video from 2022! Walkathon is the most fun day of the year as we celebrate our Springer Stinger community! Kids walk laps to earn prizes and medals while parents relax in the shade. The music, food trucks, and bonus laps keep us all going!
Food trucks will be there for you to purchase lunch and snacks. Redwood Grill (burgers & hot dogs), Bun Me Up (bao buns), La Familia (tacos), Kona Ice (shaved ice). All food vendors will offer a vegetarian option.
STUDENT FUNDRAISING WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 20 AND CLOSE SUNDAY OCTOBER 13!
During the Walkathon, our students get involved in supporting THEIR school! Parents support their students to reach a goal of $250 in student fundraising. Donations help our PTA fund supplies for PE, art, library, STEM lab and each classroom as well as a music & dance program for TK-3, social emotional learning, lunchtime activities, all our community events, and more! This is great practice in goal setting!
If you’d rather donate than participate in student fundraising, you and your family and friends can do so HERE. Note: Donations made this way CANNOT be tracked back to your child and will not be taken into consideration for any grade level awards.
TO DO LIST
REGISTER your student and siblings to participate! Drop off the form with a classroom teacher or email it in by Wed Oct 2. Completing at the event will cause delays.
Create your child’s STUDENT FUNDRAISING site and help them reach their goal! Complete instructions below.
Sign up to VOLUNTEER! We still need help, especially in the afternoon. Teens can VOLUNTEER too!
SPRINGER STUDENT FUNDRAISING
Our STUDENTS get involved in supporting THEIR school and take pride in supporting Springer! Collaborate with your child to create and personalize their page with photos and their words about their school and share with your friends and family. This is a great opportunity for our students to set a goal and work toward it. PLEASE WORK WITH YOUR STUDENT on this as a learning experience!

Students should join their grade level team to qualify for participation awards! Each fundraiser page should be for one student. Siblings should create separate pages. (Award details to be determined when fundraising concludes)
