Wellness Week & Move-A-Thon - Friday, September 29, 2023

 
A Message from the Stevenson Elementary PTO:
 
 

We could all use more mindful moments, right? This year, support our students as they move their minds, bodies, and hearts by making a donation to the PTO’s annual fundraiser, the Move-A-Thon. 

What you can do to make an impact?

Stevenson Elementary PTO funds extracurricular events like All Arts Day, Science Day, and other school-wide celebrations through our main fundraiser—the Move-A-Thon. Participation is 100% by choice and not mandatory or required. If you would like to help support these efforts, here are a few ways to get involved. 

Make a donation

We are asking community members to make a financial donation of your choosing—no amount is too small or too big. All donations go directly to providing our Stevenson Elementary kids and staff with access to events and activities that make their school year special. If you and your family choose to collect or earn monetary donations, those funds can be sent a couple of ways:

1.

Venmo @RLS-PTO. Please note “Move-a-thon, your student’s name and teacher”

2.

Place cash and checks with the pledge sheet in the envelope sent home from school. Please make checks payable to Stevenson Elementary PTO with student’s name/teacher in memo. 

 

Students and staff are invited to participate in the following spirit days during Wellness Week, September 25-29, 2023:

 

The PTO has planned daily activities that will culminate in our Move-a-Thon on Friday.  Along with the rest of the district, we’ll also be celebrating Homecoming week with spirit themed days.  (We’ve tried to closely align the days with the middle school so parents with students in each building can minimize confusion!)

  • A speaker will be visiting Stevenson in the afternoon.

We will share the video with students in class, but will also share with families (via ParentSquare) to give everyone language to talk about the topic. It will help prepare students for the prize winners on Friday.  The Pop-Up Library will have books about wellness available after school.
