Walk-a-thon Image

It’s October, so that means it’s time for Agincourt’s Annual Walk-A-Thon fundraiser!  This is the school’s best fundraiser, and also promotes physical fitness and school spirit all at the same time!  Last year’s walk-a-thon raised over $7,500. The School Council’s goal this year is $8,000! 


This year’s Walk-A-Thon will be held on the rain date: Friday, October 18th.


Walk-A-Thon Details

Students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 will participate in the Walk-A-Thon from 12:10 PM to 1:10 PM; they will be supervised and encouraged to walk/run at their own pace.  Rest and refreshment stations will be available to the students throughout. Grade 1-3 students will walk a 350 metre course and Grade 4-8 students will walk a 450 metre course. Junior Kindergarten students will walk the perimeter of the Kinder Yard, while the Senior Kindergarten students will walk the newly paved area at the front of the school.  


Pledges

The pledge form is attached to an envelope in which to collect pledges, look for them in backpacks this week.  Please note that we are asking that students seek support from family, friends, and close neighbours, and not go door-to-door.  

Although all students will participate in this event, neither you nor your child is under any obligation to seek pledges. Please return your pledge envelope with your child’s name on it even if no money was collected, so that we can ensure no envelopes are forgotten.  We ask that any money collected be returned to the school in the attached envelope, on the day of the Walk-a-thon. Cheques should be made out to “Agincourt School Council”.  

This year you can also pledge online through School Cash Online, where you can make a pledge by simply clicking a button. Please go to http://www.ocdsb.schoolcashonline.com

Thank you for your support!  If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
