Online Pledge Form Closes June 5
Way to go Wildcats! We are very, very close to reaching the $20,000 walk-a-thon goal. How about $5,000 more? The online donation form will remain open through the walk-a-thon on June 5, so reach out to those family members, friends and neighbors, near and far, and let them know there's still time to make a pledge.

Wildcats: If we reach $25,000, WatersToday will throw one big end-of-year party! Stay tuned for details.

Thank you to all the students who submitted pledges by May 29 – you are eligible for some great prizes! 

And don't forget, we are still looking for walk-a-thon volunteers!

Wednesday, June 5 – 8:30 to 3:30 p.m.
The Wildcat Walk-a-thon is a great way to promote a healthy lifestyle, to empower students to be active members of our community, and to raise money for our school. Proceeds help support and fund the Waters sports/academic teams, coach stipends, team uniforms, equipment for the school-wide physical education program, and much more.

Fundraising Goal: 
We hope to raise $20,000 through the walk-a-thon this year, and we'll meet our goal if each student raises at least $70!

How You Can Help:

• Encourage your child to identify 10 family/friends and ask each person for $5 to $10.
• Encourage donors to pledge online! You can promote online pledging by helping your child create a video to text/email to friends/family.
• Promote via social media.
• Volunteer during the walk-a-thon on June 5.

Prizes: 

• Every student that raises ANY amount of money will receive a Waters Wildcat bandana. 
• Those students who raise at least $70 will receive a Waters Wildcat stadium blanket. 
• The classroom who raises the most money will receive an EXTRA HOUR of recess and classroom fitness clinic with Mr. Kurz. 
• Check the walk-a-thon page to see more! 

​
NOTE: Your child received a pledge sheet that includes details, including pledge rewards, timeline to raise pledges (all pledges are due 5/29; no cash please), and schedule so you can help cheer them on.

You can write a personal note, or fill out one of these letters.  Bring the note into school and drop in the main office, or scan and email to the office.  A table will be set up before and after school Friday to complete a Thank You.  Notes will be hung on teachers’ doors and around the school along with sweet n' salty treats.
