Walk-a-thon

The John Muir walk-a-thon can be called the run-a-thon since most students seem to run most of their laps. This fund-raiser is multi- faceted in that is combines much needed physical exercise with raising much needed funds for the PTA. Each fall, hopefully on a sunny day in October, students run or walk laps around the path that surrounds our large grass field. Parents and Guardians assist in stamping envelopes, handing out water bottles, encouraging the students and dancing to the music that is provided by our resident DJ Harry Overstreet. With every lap they get a stamp on their envelope and the more laps they run, the more money they can collect from the generous donors who have sponsored them.
