HEALTHY HAWKS FUN RUN

3rd Annual Healthy Hawks Fun Run

Friday, March 22


Come join us on Friday!

Fun for the whole family!

Parents can run with their students

or cheer them on from the hillside.



PTF's goal for this fundraiser is

to achieve 100% participation from WCA families

in hopes of raising $32,000 for the Hawk Fund.


PTF will provide a pizza party for each class that achieves 100% participation (each student raises donations for Fun Run).


Every donation is significant, regardless of the amount.

The suggested amount of $200/student was generated

by the fundraising website.


Parents, you can sign up to run with your students!

The parent registration is on the Fun Run Website.

(Registration is not needed for students.)


Volunteers are still needed for both

the Fun Run and STEAM Invention Convention.


Please see links below for the Fun Run Website, volunteer needs,

and to provide supplies for STEAM Week.


Thank you! Your support is appreciated!
