Walk-A-Thon 2025

✴️ Help Raise Funds ✴️

The Walk-A-Thon is the PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year and our goal is to raise $18,000. The funds will be used for supplies, field trips, assemblies, equipment, and more! 

Students can help raise funds by collecting pledges from friends and family. An envelope will be sent home for students to collect pledges in person (cash and/or checks payable to 'Monta Loma PTA'), and you can also set up a page on 99Pledges for your student to collect pledges online. See instructions here for setting up a page. 

Pledges are flat donations and are not based on laps completed. If your employer matches donations, please email info@montalomapta.org so that we can update your student's fundraising progress with our donation! Our EIN is 770387464.

Envelopes can be returned to the classroom until Tuesday, March 25th. After this date, please return the envelopes to the front office. All pledges (cash, check, & online) will be accepted through Friday, March 28th.   

🚶‍➡️Permission Form & FREE t-shirt!🚶🏾‍♀️‍➡️

Students will have the opportunity to walk laps around the Monta Loma field in their complimentary Monta Loma Walkathon t-shirt during the school day and may continue after school is dismissed. Students walking after school will require a permission slip. Permission slips will be sent home for students the last week of February. In lieu of the paper permission form, you can also complete the online permission form. Please remember to mark your student's t-shirt size on their form. 

Students must be accompanied by an adult for the after school portion. 

Students are not required to raise funds in order to get a t-shirt and to participate in the Walk-A-Thon. 

While the permission form isn't due until Mar 25, if you want a different size for your student than the below, please submit the form by Mar 3. If a shirt size isn't submitted with the permission form, the students will receive the following size: 

TK - 1st students: Small

2nd & 3rd graders: Medium

4th graders: Large

5th graders: Large or Extra large

🏅 Prizes 🏅

Kids will earn a small prize and a ticket for the raffle for every 5 laps completed. If they reach their lap goals (30 for TK-2 & 50 for 3-5), they will receive a medal. Raffle prizes include tickets to the Exploratorium, CuriOdyssey, and the Bay Area Discovery Museum as well as fun experiences with teachers and more!

The PTA is holding classroom-level prizes where students can earn additional raffle tickets based on how much the class fundraises. Here are the tiers: 

$1500+ raised: Each student gets 6 raffle tickets

$1000-$1499 raised: Each student gets 4 raffle tickets

$500 - $999 raised: Each student gets 2 raffle tickets

Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase at $0.50/ticket.
