Why support the Walk-A-Jog, your student(s) and Parkside?

 

Walk-a-Jog Health & Wellness Fundraising Event is one of our two major school fundraisers held during the school year. This event plays a vital role in supporting various school initiatives and enhancing the educational experience for our students. Each year, our students come together with boundless enthusiasm, seeking pledges from family and friends, and then walk or jog with their classmates to raise funds for our school. This event not only fosters a sense of community but also teaches our students the value of giving back.


What your contribution funds:

  • Classroom Materials and School Supplies: Your donation ensures that our classrooms are equipped with the tools and resources needed for interactive and engaging learning experiences.

  • School Staff: Supporting our staff means we can retain and attract dedicated educators who are passionate about Montessori education.

  • Staff Professional Development and Training: Your contribution helps us invest in ongoing training for our teachers, ensuring they stay at the forefront of educational practices.

  • Field Trips: By contributing, you enable our students to explore the world beyond their classrooms, fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects they study.

     

  • Campus Beautification - Green Team: We believe in providing a beautiful, inspiring environment for our students, and your donation helps us maintain our campus.

  • Community Events: Your support enables us to organize events that bring our community together, fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness.

 


Our 3 primary fundraising channels to help us reach our school-wide $30K goal:

 

1. Classroom Themed Basket Raffles:

  • Each class will curate and fund themed baskets capped at $300.

  • Raffle tickets will be pre-sold prior to the event and for a limited time during the event.

 

2. Business Sponsorships:

  • We've reached out to the broader community for business sponsorships to make our event even more impactful.

 

3. Student Pledges:
