If you have a connection with a business (or two!) that you think may like to help financially sponsor the Walkathon (May 15th), please let me know and I would be happy to work with you on the best way to reach out to them. We have varying levels of sponsorship opportunities available for businesses.
Lastly, if you would like your family to be recognized as a "Family Sponsor," for $100 your family name will be printed on the back of all event t-shirts. Note: Family Sponsorship does not count towards your student's total amount of funds raised for incentives/prizes. For more info, please email Heather Harper at fammatrewalkathon@gmail.com
This year our focus will be on raising funds for a new playground near the solar panels on the back field as well as continuing the Starting Arts program in each classroom.
