The All Star Dash date has changed, but our goal is the same - to raise $40,000 and fully fund programs, activities and events supported by the Parent Teacher Club. We also have a new s-t-r-e-t-c-h goal: $8,000 for an artist in residence program. If we meet the goal, we will work again with Mark Brody, who helped us complete this tile mosaic project in 2017.
Please mark your calendar for the All Star Dash set for Friday, October 6. It will be a day of fun, fresh air and activity at the Catlin Gabel track.

Matching: Double your impact! Ask your employer if they match employee donations to non-profit organizations. Here is a list of companies in our community that match donations. Check it out! Your employer is likely on the list and if not, please ask if they match.
How it works:
All students, kindergarten through 5th grade, participate in this fun event on Friday, October 6th. Starting now, students collect donations (flat donation or per lap) with the pledge packet or online using Pledgestar, detailed below. Donations are due October 20.
On the day of the All Star Dash, students choose to walk, jog, or run with their class around the West TV track as many times as they can in 30 minutes. A mile on the track is 4 laps. For those who choose to pledge per lap, kids run on average 8-12 laps. The number of laps completed in 30 minutes will be recorded on a certificate and sent home the next day. Music plays, STAR, the mascot will be there and everyone has a great time getting exercise and raising money to support programs and events our students and teachers love!
Take Action:
Spread the word and collect pledges - Encourage your students to collect pledges from friends, family, and neighbors. Use either Pledgestar (online) or the paper pledge sheet, which was sent home with students on Friday, September 8.
Double the impact - Check with your employer to see if they match employee donations.
Prize procurement - We are seeking items and gift certificates to award our students for their hard work. Please contact donate@wtvptc.org if you can help source prizes or have items to give, which will be awarded at an assembly. (QR Code Below)
