SFB Walk-a-thon

THANK YOU!

Our community is amazing! ☘️ We are so grateful for the support of our families and friends, and of course for the enthusiasm of our wonderful students who did so many laps around the Walk-a-thon course yesterday.

A very special thank you to our Walk-a-thon Chair, Melissa, her amazing event committee, DJ Toast, and all of the parent volunteers who helped to make the SFB Walk-a-thon 2023 so successful and special!

Because of you we were able to surpass our goal of $30,000 and, as a community, raised…

🎉 $40,226 🎉

Put your walking shoes on and join us for the 14th annual SFB Walk-a-thon on Friday, November 17th from 12:00pm - 3:00pm!

We have officially kicked off our first mandatory fundraiser of the school year - the 2023 Walk-a-Thon!

We hope you will consider supporting our fundraising campaign. *Each participating family has a minimum goal of raising $200, but the more contributions we raise the closer we will get to our goal of $30,000! All proceeds will help to fund curriculum updates and professional development.

Music by....DJ Toast!
