2023 Walkathon: Bennett Beach Party!
TOGETHER, WE CAN REACH OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $400 PER STUDENT
The Bennett Beach Party Walkathon Event is Friday September 29th, during recesses and after school 3:30-5:30!
The walkathon is our biggest fundraiser of the year, helping support additional general school assistants, instructional support, curriculum enhancement, field trips, and more!
Students raise money for Bennett by collecting donations from family, friends, and neighbors for getting active and walking/jogging laps around the playground. Students and classes compete to see who can raise the most money and walk the most laps.
