Walker Laps & Laughs Fun Run – May 22

We’re excited to launch our new spring fundraiser—Walker Laps & Laughs Fun Run!

📅 Friday, May 22 (during PE classes)

Students will run, walk, dance, or skip laps during PE while raising funds to support Walker and all District 65 schools through PEP One Fund.


💡 How it works

  • Students complete laps during their PE class
  • Families and friends can:
    • Make a one-time donation, or
    • Pledge a small amount per lap (you can set a maximum)
  • Students earn prizes as we reach our fundraising goals

👟 Every student participates—no fundraising required.

🔗 Donate or pledge here:
(You can donate a flat amount or per lap—both options are available)

https://www.givebacks.com/causes/walker/campaigns/funrun


🎯 School Goal: $7,500

As we reach milestones, the whole school will unlock fun rewards like pajama day, medals, and more.


🙌 How to support

  • Make a one-time donation
  • Pledge a per-lap amount
  • Create and share your student’s page with family and friends

💡 Quick example

Pledge $0.10 per lap with a $15 max.
If a class runs 200 laps ($20 total), your donation is capped at $15.


More details (including prize details and team matchups) will be shared soon—we’re excited to get moving, Walker!

Staff Appreciation Week – May 4-8

Staff Appreciation Week is coming up, and we’re looking forward to celebrating our amazing Walker teachers and staff!

The PTA will be providing breakfast, lunch, treats, and daily gift card raffles throughout the week. Thank you to the families and local businesses who have already signed up to contribute—your support helps make this a special week for our staff.

We’re still rounding things out with a few remaining items, including gift cards, beverages, and fruit for the end of the week.

Families are also invited to join in by “Chalking the Walk” this weekend—stop by anytime to leave a message of appreciation for our teachers. Chalk will be available near the playground bins.

We’re grateful for this community and all the ways you help recognize and support our staff.
