About this fundraiser:

The annual Olympic Hills Move-a-Thon is a fun outdoor activity where we get the whole school together to run, walk, wheel, hop, dance, and generally move around a track with friends and have tons of fun during the school day.

This fundraiser, in addition to being a fun event all the students look forward to, serves to raise money for the Olympic Hills Elementary PTA. With the incredible support of friends, family, and local businesses, the PTA can provide enrichment programs that all students can enjoy.

Our school is a large Title 1 school in NE Seattle. Our student body is extremely robust and diverse with a population of roughly 500 students and 100 educators. Two thirds (2/3) are students of color and there are over twenty-five (25) languages spoken. We also support a large student with disabilities population (almost fifteen percent (15%)).

Our PTA focuses on Student Enrichment, Teacher Support, and Student Support activities and funding that are, sadly, no longer funded by the district and wouldn’t exist at our school without your support and donations.

For a list of some of the amazing things your donations will help fund, see the "Your donations will help pay for:" section below.

We couldn't support and provide all of these wonderful learning opportunities and the enriching programs we do here without your monetary support. Please know that no amount is too small. Your ongoing backing and support are both truly appreciated.
