What is Walk-a-Thon?
Tam Valley’s annual fall Walk-A-Thon combines school fundraising with an awesome event where kids, or in some cases run, laps around the school. Last year, each participating student walked an average of 13 laps (or 4.2 miles) at the event, but all levels of participation are welcome! Typically, about 80% of our TV community attends this event, making the Walk-A-Thon a great opportunity for families to get to know each other and our Tam Valley community. We will also have food, shaved ice, and DJ keeping the vibes high! Read on to learn all about the event and please contact tamvalleywat@gmail.com with any questions or if you’d like to volunteer.
Is Walk-a-thon a fundraiser?
YES! The Walk-A-Thon is an annual and beloved Tam Valley tradition. Plus, the funds raised through Walk-A-Thon make up 45% of the annual PTA budget; making Walk-A-Thon not only a community-building event but also a major fundraiser. One hundred percent of this money goes to Tam Valley PTA to fund educational resources such as garden and assemblies, as well as other programming for our Tam Tigers!
Did you know that Tam Valley PTA has budgeted funds to ensure that all programming such as yearbooks, family event tickets, adult-only event tickets, food and beverages at family events, book sales, outdoor ed, etc. is accessible to all of the families in our school community?
We understand that finances should never stand in the way of building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community at Tam Valley. Financial assistance is readily available because we truly value the participation of every parent/guardian at our community events. PTA has reserved resources available. To learn more about obtaining support, please reach out to Principal Lisa Lamar (llamar@mvschools.org).
Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors, The Junction, Pizzahacker, and Brick Club.
