Stay tuned for our 2025 Walk-A-Thon theme
Why does the BES PTO need a fundraiser?
- To support educational programming such as author visits, zoo visits and more…
- To organize and plan family events such as our annual fall Color Jam, BESt Talent Show, Holiday Fest, STEAM Night, Book Fairs, and more…
- To fund mini-grants for teachers and staff throughout the school year.
- To fund the multi-year Outdoor Learning Center Initiative. We have completed the Outdoor Learning Center. Now we are fundraising for a bird blind, a larger pollinator garden and teacher supplies for students to enjoy learning outside!
What are the goals of our event?
- For each student to collect $50+ in pledges which is the per student cost for all that the PTO provides to each student each year.
- To engage all of BES - students, parents and staff - in a fun-filled event that incorporates fitness and community-building activities.
Stay tuned for the official Walk-A-Thon kick off. We are working on setting up our on-line fundraising platform
All students must return their collection envelopes to their teacher or make online payments by Friday, October 3rd.
How will the students play a part in this event?
- All students will receive an official BES t-shirt the morning of the event. ($5 suggested minimum donation)
- All classes will have a time to participate in the outdoor (weather permitting) walk around the school. This also includes game stations, music and dancing by a professional DJ, popcorn and fun with their friends!
- All students will receive a collection envelope with a donation sheet to organize their pledges, OR you can make your donations made by cash, check payable to Boyd E. Smith PTO, or online on our website HERE.
