Walkathon 2021

After not being able to hold our Walkathon in 2020 due to the pandemic, we were able to hold an in-person Walkaton on October 21, 2021!  The students enjoyed a day of walking, biking, and dancing to a DJ.   We are so grateful to have raised nearly $70,000 from this effort.  These funds will be used to continue to purchase technology such as Promethean boards, interactive projectors and chromebooks as well as for teacher and school wishlist items. Thank you to all students, parents, teachers and staff who helped reach this goal!  


The 5 classrooms  that raised the most money have earned an ice cream party as well as $500 to spend on classroom items. The classrooms that raised the most money are:

Mr. Merkin

Ms. Novitski

Ms. Martin

Ms. Sittner

Mr. Lew


We have also extended a second place prize of $250 to an additional 5 classrooms.  Those classrooms are: 

Ms. Priola

Ms. Twine

Ms. Growe

Ms. Petrosino

Mr. Bailey

Ms. Daigle

Ms. DeJulio

Ms. Johnson

Ms. Kawa


Congratulations to ALL winners!
