What is it?
The Walk-&-Roll-a-Thon is our first fundraiser of the year, and also just a fun day of walking, running and rolling for the kids.
Every student gets a fun Walk-&-Roll T-Shirt, and then walks around a course on the blacktop. Each time they complete a lap they’ll get a sharpied tally-mark on the back of their shirt. Volunteers come to cheer the kids on and help mark tallies.
In a few weeks, once we’ve processed all the donations, we’ll have an awards assembly with the kids to announce the winners of the coveted “Big Shoe” trophy (the class that raises the most money) and the class who gets to choose a teacher to get a pie in the face (the class that walks the most laps).
At the end of the day, all the kids walk away with a shirt and a fun time is had by all.
Pledges and Donations!
Our goal is to raise $26,200 with the Walk-&-Roll-a-Thon this year! This money will be put to work immediately to pay for after-school enrichment scholarships, 5th grade campout scholarships, classroom supplies, and more. Click here for more information about PTA fundraising and how we use the money to help our kids.
We understand that not every family will be able to donate - and that’s okay. But if you can! Please do! This is a great opportunity to invite grandparents and friends to support our amazing school.
Where to pledge/donate: There are 3 options:
The Green Lake Walk-&-Roll-a-Thon donation site (this is the easiest, since we can automatically put in the number of laps your student completed)
On Paypal (be sure to include your student’s name and teacher in the notes!)
By Check (payable to “Green Lake Elementary PTA” and can be mailed to the school, or dropped off in the office. We’ll also have envelopes outside the office mail slot if you come by after hours)
Corporate matching! If you work for a company that does donation matching, this event will qualify! Our nonprofit tax ID is 91-1442923
Don’t forget the grandparents! If you have family or friends who you think might want to help, here’s a sample of how you might ask:
“Hey ____! [Child’s name] is participating in their school’s annual walk-and-roll-a-thon on October 2nd and will be completing laps to collect pledges from friends and family. The school is trying to raise money for activity scholarships, classroom and art supplies, library books, and other fun (and necessary) stuff. 100% of the money raised will go to the school. Would you be able to donate? Here’s the link to the donation page: https://greenlakeelementary.schoolauction.net/walknroll2026/g/givenow ”
