2024-2025 JOG-A-THON FUNDRAISER
November 7th, 2024
We are excited to announce the Walnut Acres Jog-a-Thon will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
By combining fun, fitness, and fundraising, we hope that all students will help us achieve our goal of reaching or exceeding $35,000!
Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and local businesses, last year's Walk-a-Thon generated over $51,000 in donations for our school. These funds allowed for staffing, enrichment and vital campus support. As such, this event is a great way for students to directly raise funds for school enhancements that staff, families, and the students themselves will enjoy during the current school year!
The goal of this event is physical activity, school spirit and fun!
