No bidding wars—just fixed prices and limited availability. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Hosts manage the planning and cover costs, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting Parkside students.

Please note: Tickets for CMIs are non-refundable but can be transferred if you’re unable to attend. You may transfer your ticket to someone else, or contact fundraising@parksidepta.com so waitlisted families can be notified. Parkside Montessori PTA and event hosts are not responsible for any monetary transactions related to ticket transfers.

If unused tickets cannot be fulfilled by ticketholders or the waitlist, the host may fill the spot, and the ticket cost will be considered a donation.

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.

• Classroom Materials and School Supplies 

  Your donation equips our classrooms with the essential tools and resources needed for dynamic and engaging learning experiences.

• Supporting School Staff 

  By contributing, you help us retain and attract dedicated educators who are passionate about Montessori education.

• Staff Professional Development 

  Your support enables ongoing professional development, ensuring our teachers remain leaders in educational best practices.

• Assemblies and Field Trips 

  Your generosity allows students to explore beyond the classroom, enriching their understanding of the world and their studies.
