Walkathon 2019

It's Walkathon time again! 🚶 🚶 🚶 

Every  October, as the weather cools and the kids start to get antsy with  their school routine, Berwyn Heights Elementary School students put down  their books for the day and rejuvenate with an outdoor mini-field trip.  The entire school walks through town to our local lake where we have  lunch, play games and enjoy some fresh air and time out of the  classroom!

Students collect sponsorships for this day trip and the money collected enables the PTA to fund lots of activities and programs  throughout the school year.

The goal of the BHES PTA is to  enhance the experience that our children have in school. One way we do  this by hosting seasonal celebrations: in the fall, we have a family  festival that we call Hello Husky Night; in winter, we host an Ice  Skating Party; and in the spring, we celebrate the warm weather with an end-of-year party! The PTA also uses the money collected from the Walkathon to  pay for field trip transportation; purchase school supplies, recess  equipment, and Scholastic Book subscriptions; and support our outdoor classroom program as well as other school clubs.

The Walkathon is  our primary fundraiser for the school year and we depend on the money we  raise to continue supporting enrichment activities for our kids.

Please consider donating! We appreciate every penny!
