The Knollwood PTO will be holding our 11th annual student Walk-A-Thon on Friday, October13, 2016 (rain date October20th).  On Walk-A-Thon day, the children will walk around a course on the grass behind the school while a DJ plays lively music.   They will also do some dancing, too.  Families are welcome to come cheer them on. 

This school-wide activity builds a sense of community, helps the school and is FUN and SAFE.    An important feature of this event -- our primary fundraiser--  is that Knollwood retains all of the money collected.  The Knollwood PTO uses the funds raised for assemblies, field trips, school equipment, and other PTO-sponsored programs.

Attached please find a sponsor card and envelope.  Please help your child obtain sponsors by calling family and friends.   Sponsors will be asked to pledge a flat amount, not an amount per lap. Spaces are provided on the sponsor card to circle or write in the amount donated. Please DO NOT allow your child to do any door-to-door solicitation. Students are instructed to simply use the telephone to obtain sponsors.  Company match donations are accepted, so please be sure to inquire with your employer.  

Students can earn fun and exciting prizes depending on how much money they raise.  More specific information will be distributed soon. Prizes are based on paid pledges collected and handed in by October 27, 2016

Please make sure that your child’s name, room number and teacher’s name are on the Sponsor card and envelope. Please make checks payable to “Knollwood PTO.”

Start collecting pledges today!  A successful Walkathon will enable the PTO to fully fund its various programs and the more pledges your child receives the more great prizes they will earn.

Please help support Knollwood students with your sponsorship of the Walk-A-Thon. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] .
