Madison Elementary Walk-A-Thon

Our Walk-A-Thon was rained out a few times last year, but on Wednesday, April 30, we celebrated our playground fundraising efforts with a two-hour walk with snacks, t-shirts and water bottles, and prize drawings. We raised $1500 toward a new playground! Thank you! The money has been set aside and when we reach our goal of $20,000 we will build our playground!

This year we are raising money to fund the vital services that PTA provides for Madison. Students will bring home envelopes once a week for four weeks, and will collect what donations they can to support their school. Students are eligible for prizes when they return their envelope, regardless of the contents.

We are also collecting donations for the silent auction and raffle at the Spring Carnival. If you or someone you know has a donation, please let Leslie, the carnival chair, know.

This year's Walk-A-Thon will be held on Friday, April 24th. The Walk-A-Thon has become a welcome tradition celebrating health and our Madison community!

  • All students and teachers receive a Walk-A-Thon t-shirt
  • All students receive a Veridian water bottle
  • Walkers will get a healthy snack and water the day of the walk
  • All kids who return envelopes (regardless of contents) will be entered in a drawing for prizes
  • Teachers who encourage student participation will be entered in a drawing for prizes
  • Fundraising progress will be marked by a trail of footprints winding down the hall, one for each $25 donation
  • We will have mascots and motivational speakers to cheer the kids on during the walk

If you have a connection in the community that may be interested in donating funds or prizes for kids or teachers or think your business may be interested in contributing, we need your help! Please contact Cherokee Render at 319-573-8983 or tcrender@mchsi.com.
