What is the Walk-A-Thon? The Williams Elementary School Walk-A-Thon is an annual community tradition and one of the largest family school-wide events that promotes healthy activities and raises funds to enhance our student's education! Students will walk laps to participate in fun activities and earn prizes for their fundraising efforts.
How to Participate - It's Easy!
#1 - Register your student(s) by September 15th and create a Family Team Page. The $40 registration fee per student includes a Super Mario Themed shirt and a Williams WINS Water Bottle. This amount is not included in the student's fundraising goals.
