Move-A-Thon
Move-a-Thon is back! Each class gets twenty minutes on the course to run as many laps as they can. Every lap earns a bracelet to keep, and those bracelets are how we tally everyone up at the end. Then it's popsicles all around.
| Who | All students, by class |
|---|---|
| Where | The playground |
| Cost | Free — pledges are optional! |
| When | Date coming soon! |
| Drop-off | Move-a-Thon takes place during the school day |
Friends and family sponsor our kiddos either per lap or with a flat donation — and there's no rush, students can keep collecting pledges after they've run their laps. Packets come home in backpacks beforehand, completed forms go back to the front office, and checks are made payable to Pathfinder K-8 PTSA. Students who bring in the most pledges can win prizes!
Last year our students ran 1,885 laps between them, covering more than 565 miles. The excitement was incredible.
One thing we always want to be clear about: every student takes part, whether or not they raise a penny. Pledges are completely optional, and no child is ever told what they did or didn't bring in.
