September 16-20: Blackhawk Walk Week
The Blackhawk Walk is SES PTO’s only student fundraiser. Students receive and collect donations during the week of the Blackhawk walk. During that week, students earn the opportunity to win daily prizes, along with awards for the top three earners, and the top class. At the end of the week, each class celebrates with a walk-a-thon obstacle course! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year- the funds we raise help not only support PTO events, but also assist with classroom, school, and student needs. How much we bring in determines our budget for the year, so every bit of support helps. These funds go to support EVERYTHING we do during the school year- community, student, and parent support this week is so important!
Walk with us to support Ses!
This year, our biggest fundraiser is going digital! Donations will be collected online through Givebutter, making it easier than ever for friends and family to support your student from anywhere.
Step 1: Register your student at givebutter.com/3qWDDY/join.
You can share as much or as little info as you like.
Be sure to list their classroom as their “team” so they get credit toward prizes.
Step 2: Share their personal fundraising link.
Email, text, or post on social media to invite friends and family to give.
Step 3: Watch the leaderboard and cheer them on.
Top students and classes win prizes!
Step 4: Celebrate at the Blackhawk Walk.
Students will walk the course and enjoy fun activity stations on September 12.
Every donation counts toward our $15,000 goal and helps fund the events, programs, and classroom support that make Sheridan Elementary such a special place to learn and grow.
We need your support
There are many ways PTO, parents, and community members can help make this event a success. This fundraiser covers costs for all the PTO sponsored events held at our elementary school, including: Back-to-School Night, the annual Donuts with Grownups, our annual Christmas reward program (Blitzen’s Barn) that allows students to choose gifts for their family at no charge, our school wide behavioral recognition reward program, STEM program, and much, much more. We are seeking volunteers to help with the day to day operations the week of the event (just hit the “sign up to volunteer” button above), as well as local sponsors, donations for prizes, and volunteers to help run the walkathon activities as well as walk with classrooms on the final day (Friday, Sept 20). Please contact us if you or someone you know may be able to help- every little bit counts!
