Upper Lot Playground
2026 Walk-A-Thon details coming soon! Information below reflects 2025.
Making Strides for Student Success!
Walk-a-thon: 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Come cheer on your student(s)! Students will complete as many laps as they can, as parent volunteers mark their progress on their t-shirts.
NEW STUDENT SHOWCASE & Family Celebration: 2:30PM to 4:00pm
Stay after dismissal for food, fun, and the NEW Student Showcase! See amazing student work, connect with teachers, and celebrate student’s achievements.
*There will be no individual lap prizes, only class level prizes this year.
Help your student fundraise for their class prizes using Pledgestar.
Pledgestar makes fundraising easy! This online tool creates a custom page for your student, so you can quickly send personalized pledge requests to family and friends or share it on social media.
For every family that registers, a 2025 Marshall Lane Walk-A-Thon bracelet will be given to the student(s) prior to the event.

What is a Walk-a-thon?
It's a fun and healthy way for students to raise money for essential PTA programs! Students collect donations (flat fee) or pledges (per lap) as they walk/run a course in the Upper Lot playground.
All students will receive a free t-shirt to wear at the event.
Congratulations to 5th grader Maya Kerimbekov! Her t-shirt design was chosen for this year's Walk-a-thon. Check it out here.
If you are planning on volunteering for the event, please consider purchasing a shirt.
