The students and staff at Georgetown Elementary won! Over $30,000 was raised to help cover costs for classroom supplies, technology upgrades, storage solutions, books, field trips, parent/child events and other needed items for each class. So, we all win! Thank you students, parents, relatives, friends, and neighbors…your donations will make a HUGE difference at Georgetown!

Also, our class was recognized for having the highest participation of students to raise money for the walk-a-thon! As a result, we are looking forward to spending a $50 Amazon gift card on special things for our classroom AND enjoying donuts from Sprinkles! 🙂

Finally, we finished third for total amount of money raised by a class! We were able to collect over $2,200 in donations! So, each person will receive a pedometer!

What an amazing walk-a-thon! Thanks again for all you did to help this event to be a HUGE success!

The 2021 walk-a-thon was a HUGE success! The weather was perfect and we had lots of fun! Also, I have a feeling that we (students, parents, family, friends, and staff of Georgetown) raised a lot of money which will help cover costs of classroom supplies, technology upgrades, storage solutions, books, field trips, parent/child events and many other needed items for each class. Thank you!

Donations will be accepted until noon on Friday, October 1…we should know the final numbers soon after!

…try getting 23 fourth graders to agree on how to spend $50.

We had that opportunity earlier in the year in our classroom. The PTC gave us an Amazon gift card for having the highest percentage of participation for this year’s Super Hero Walk-a-thon.

We wrestled with fun ways to spend the money and in the end found something for everyone!

Thanks again for supporting the students at Georgetown and thank you PTC for the gift card to Amazon! 🙂
