Walk-A-Thon Raises Money and
Supports School Spirit!
Walking is not only great for our health but it is a wonderful way to raise school spirit! On Thursday, September 9, East Avenue held its first Walk-A-Thon. All students participated in the walk and many students received pledges from family, friends and neighbors who helped cheer on the students and teachers at the event. Students in grades 4th-6th walked 15 laps around the school, grades 1-3 walked 10 laps, and kindergarteners walked 5 laps. Volunteers and staff members gave students water throughout their walk and kept track of their laps. We raised over $8K to fund our library/computer lab and study trips for the year! Students who raised the most money received awesome prize baskets that teachers and parents created. Thanks to all the students, staff, parents, and volunteers who helped make this a successful event!
