Walkathon

What is Walkathon?

The Centennial Walkathon takes place on Sept. 21st and is the primary PTC fundraiser of the year. This annual event is fun for the kids, while providing the added benefit of raising the funds that will supply them with resources needed for a successful school year.

Without the support of the Walkathon many PTC initiatives cannot happen such as assemblies, additional library books, family enrichment activities, Accelerated Reader, online academic tools, supplies and the events that the PTC hosts.

It will not just be a morning of walking, but many fun stations- bubbles, activity and tattoo station, and a fabulous DJ! Let’s dance around the school!

We are kindly asking each student to raise a small minimum of $40. We can hit our $17,000 goal and surpass it if everyone contributes. Parents please help your children raise funds. Ask grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbors, coworkers, and businesses you frequent.
