Newtown Elementary Walk-a-Thon!

Newtown Elementary is 30!

We wouldn’t be where we are today without the history & the amazing community that surrounds this school. We’re excited to have the students lace up their shoes & get into the swing of the new school year!

Walk-A-Thon FAQ’s: We know it’s new, so let’s answer some of your questions:

• How do we share with our students’ friends and family to donate?
  • Once you register, you will receive an email with the link to send out to friends and family
• Can friends and family come to the event?
  • While the support of family & friends is typically welcome at PTO events, since this one happens during school hours this will be an NES student event and ask that parents/family/friends stay home for this one
• What are the prizes?
  • Individual (student who raises the most money): VIP Lunch experience at NES with Mr. Francis, food will be ordered in for the VIP and a few friends.
  • Classroom (the class that raises the most money): Pizza Party or Movie with Popcorn
  • Each Student who Raises $30: Will be entered into a raffle to win 4 SIXERS TICKETS for a game this upcoming season
  • School Meets $20,000 Goal: If the student body meets or exceeds the goal, PTO will host a super fun, high-energy assembly packed with excitement, laughter, and school spirit!
• Why are we asking our student’s to raise money?
  • As an organization the PTO works behind the scenes a lot of the time and adds value to the school in many ways. Here are a few of the items that we fund annually:
    • Student Agenda Books (Grades 2-6)
    • PBIS Assembly Shirts
    • Exterior Flags on Poles in NES Parking Lot
    • Science Fair Assembly
