One of our biggest concerns at our school is the safety of the students. Together with Mrs. Schroeder and the school district we are trying to see if we can get enough funds to put in a sidewalk that would go on the far north front of the school property (right after the fence) so that children would not be crossing in front of the Kindergarten circle driveway to get to the playground and to go home after school.
The bikes would be moved to a location over there as well. This would also (as a bonus) alleviate some traffic issues as cars exit that pull through. The walkway and bike pad would cost $11,000 and could be completed this summer. Our cost as parents/PTA would be about $3,000-4000. Each year we have earned about $4000 through our walk-a-thon. Please consider this addition when it comes time to donate in April.
As a PTA we have been trying to find other ways to offset the fundraiser, and truthfully if we could find enough money elsewhere we would just eliminate the "asking for money" part of the Walk-a-thon, but we just aren't there yet. We are grateful to Chick-fil-a, and Kohl's in American Fork (and many others) for the large donations (both over $1000 each so far this year). Do you know of any other companies who could help us out? Please send a message if you do. We are grateful for all the positive responses we have had to all of our efforts! Thanks!!
