WALKATHON

Our Walk-A-Thon is coming up soon, and as the main fundraiser of the year, we need YOUR support!  Please be sure to send your completed donation letters back in to school with your child as soon as you can and THANK YOU to all parents who have already done so!

In 2015, we raised $24,000 for our students, which helped pay for field trips for each grade, science enrichment in the schools, a music enrichment for Lineham, new music stands for the Metcalf band, projectors for art classrooms, iPads for library and speech and language department, and much, much more. We'd like to make 2016 even more successful!

Our goal this year is to raise at least $18,000 in our Walk-A-Thon to fund all of these very important additions to our children's curriculum. For just $25 per student, we can accomplish our goal. Please consider sponsoring your child for this amount by sending in a check (EWG PTA) or visiting our GoFundMe page.  (We understand this may be easier for some families rather than sending out the letters.) And if you're able, please keep those addressed letters coming back in - our family and friends' sponsorships are vital to our success, and we are so grateful for it.

We appreciate all of your continued support. Please email ewgpta@yahoo.com with your questions, or visit us on Facebook for updates.
