Donating to our school’s walk-a-thon directly impacts the students, staff, and families of Parker Woods Montessori, a Title I magnet school in CPS. The funds raised are used to provide teachers with classroom resources; students with field trips, books and enrichment programs; and families with engagement events such as socials and festivals.
Help us out all October and on Walk-a-thon day!
DONATE & FUNDRAISE
BEFORE THE EVENT
Each Friday in October, students can show their school spirit by wearing their walkathon team colors. Parent volunteers will be collecting donations outside the school every Friday morning. Student who turns in a donation for any amount during the week will be entered into a prize drawing each Friday.
YOU ARE ENTERED TO WIN THE GRAND PRIZE IF YOU RAISE AT LEAST $60 TOTAL! If every student raises $60, we meet our goal of $35,000.
Cash & checks made payable to PWM Foundation will be collected by the school doors every Friday morning in October.
Remember to be safe & take a grown-up with you when you are fundraising!
WALK ON OCTOBER 25
Families can join the students for the walk-a-thon and are encouraged to wear your child's team colors:
Friday, Oct. 25 9:45 to 10:45 a.m.
Enjoy a popsicle after the walk! Students will then celebrate with Prize Day, if we meet our $35,000 goal!
