Walk-A-Thon
Thank you to all the friends and families who pledged donations to our annual Walk-A-Thon fundraiser. Your generosity has generated over $11,000! It couldn’t have been a nicer day for our event. All donations will help the PTA sponsor student celebrations throughout the school year including dances, fun nights, team parties, and end-of-year festivities.
We had close to 150 students run in the Jayhawk Jaunt and all students participated in the annual Walk-A-Thon around the pond after the race. Thank you to our PTA volunteers who helped organize the event, take pictures, and pass out water. Congratulations to our boy and girl champions, Tyler and Izabella!
Here are a few pictures from the event!

Parents no longer need to create a PTC Wizard account or add children themselves. Just follow the instructions sent via email on Friday, which included unique username and password credentials, to log into PTC Wizard and schedule conference appointments.
