PTA Globe Trot Fundraiser
Last week's PTA Globe Trot Fundraiser was a fun event for our students and the many families that ran with us and cheered us on. Since the Globe Trot, families that are able have been collecting donations from family and friends to help our PTA raise funds to support special events at Wade King. In past years, our PTA has raised approximately $20,000. Those funds have been used to sponsor several Family Inquiry Nights and our World Tour, which is an evening event for our entire school community in May celebrating what we learn during our school-wide inquiry into a country. This year, we are inquiring into Japan! The money PTA raises as part of the Globe Trot also supports multiple field trips at each grade level, bringing in special guests, purchasing additional playground equipment, and supporting families and students in need through their Help and Hope Committee and Winter Snowflake Drive. Many of these things would not be possible without the financial support of our PTA.
Our current fundraising total is $7,770.75!
Wade King students know that we have set several goals. When we reach each goal, we will celebrate our collaborative efforts. If we reach our goal of $15,000, we will celebrate with crazy hat and hair day. If we reach $20,000, we will celebrate with extra recess for everyone. If we should reach $25,000, we will select two students as Principals of the Day. These students will plan several things to make the entire day special for everyone.
