Strawberry Vale Elementary Walk-a-thon Fundraiser
April 21, 2023 1:00 – 2:00 pm
The Strawberry Vale Walk-a-thon Fundraiser is back! This year’s fundraising efforts will go directly to helping the Strawberry Vale PAC fund the initiatives, performances and programs that enrich the experiences of all students at Strawberry Vale.
The walk-a-thon is again connected to Earth Day and Environmental Stewardship Activities here at SVE. Students will be working on and engaging in environmental stewardship projects around the school and then celebrating and sharing their work during the Walk-a-thon to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
What is a Walk-a-thon?
The SVE Walk-a-thon is a fundraising event for the whole family. Students raise money by collecting donations or pledges for walking a set course around the school for an hour on the afternoon of Friday, April 21. Parents are asked to help their child approach family members, friends and neighbours to support the school with a donation. Donations can be cash or cheque and can also be made online. Families can share the information and link provided below.. Families are welcome and encouraged to join us on Walk-a-thon day to walk the course, help marshall and supervise the students and cheer the students and staff on. If you would like to volunteer to help out on Walk-a-thon day, please contact the PAC pacsve@gmail.com
How does the Strawberry Vale Walk-a-thon help our students?
The funds raised from the Walk-a-thon are used exclusively in the school by the PAC to enrich the experiences of all students. Every year the PAC funds initiatives like classroom and field trip funding, the seaquarium program, Grade 5 celebration and fun day, in-class presenters, musical and theatrical performances and parent education nights.
