Why do we Walk-A-Thon?
-
Because it is FUN! Students, staff and families have a chance to get together for the good of our school!
-
This is the last chance to fundraise for the PTA Annual Fund so we can continue to provide classroom aides and programs not fully funded by the district or state.
-
The Envelope Drive in the fall is our anchor fundraising event; student and family participation is always great! But we have a long way to go to meet our budget needs for the 2023-24 school year.
-
With the BSD elementary school consolidations, Clyde Hill Elementary is slated to receive at least 150 students and five staff members from Wilburton Elementary.
-
Our dollars will need to stretch further to ensure every child at our school receives a quality education and is able to enjoy all of the elementary curriculum enhancement experiences!
-
How do we raise money?
-
Do you know a company that would like to sponsor our event? Please share the Walk-A-Thon sponsorship packet with them! Sponsors are a big part of this fundraising event.

COMMUNITY SPONSORS -
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
How can local business support the Walkathon?
The Clyde Hill Elementary Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the educational experience for all students at Clyde Hill. We work to support our school by providing enrichment opportunities and building a strong school community which brings together parents, teachers, students, and local businesses such as yours.
Why We Need Your Support
At the state and district level, K-12 education continues to be underfunded. Clyde Hill has a current student population of 450 students and will grow by at least 150 additional students next year with the closure of elementary schools in our district. Our PTA works hard to close the gap and raise funds needed to help ensure critical resources and programs continue.
Our annual Walk-A-Thon is an important fundraising and community-building event where students run or walk laps to raise money for the school. This year’s event will be held on Friday, June 2nd! Funds raised from this event help us to provide things such as:
-
Classroom aids to help reduce child/teacher ratios and provide personalized attention.
-
Curriculum Enhancements including science fair, educational software, books, and reading/math/ELL applications.
-
Community Events such as Back-to-School BBQ, Heritage Festival, All School Dance and more.
To ensure that these critical programs continue, we are asking for your help by becoming a sponsor. Please complete the sponsorship packet and return it to our treasurer, Michelle Coe.
Thank you for supporting each and every one of our students!
