Why Support Walk-a-Jog

The Walk-a-Jog Health & Wellness Fundraising Event is more than just a fundraiser—it's a celebration of our Parkside community. As one of our two major fundraisers, it brings together students, families, and friends, all united by a shared goal: supporting our school. With energy and enthusiasm, our students seek pledges and then walk or jog alongside their classmates, raising essential funds for Parkside. This event not only strengthens our school but also instills in our students the importance of giving back. By participating, you help build and reinforce the strong community bonds that make Parkside special.
