Salamander Stride 2025

Header image for Salamander Stride 2025

What is the Salamander Stride?

It’s a Fun Run for the whole school and the singular fundraiser for the PTA. The Stride is a non-competitive event that encourages physical activity and aligns with the school’s purpose of educating and celebrating the kids. It is also a great community event for students, teachers, and administrators—and, of course, parents, guardians, and family members who are able to support our students.

 

How will the Salamander Stride raise money for the PTA?

Students will seek pledges from family, friends, and neighbors to achieve their fitness goal—be it a mile or beyond. Our successful Stride fundraising history has enabled us to eliminate the need for other PTA fundraisers, like selling wrapping paper and cookie dough.

 

Will all kids participate?   

Yes! This is a school-wide event and every student who is able to stride, walk, run or roll in the Salamander Stride is encouraged to participate. We know there may be some children whose families and friends are not able to pledge money for the Salamander Stride, and that’s OK — everyone participates in the way they are able. 

 

Important Note: If you are giving through this website "donate" button and not your student's fundraising page, please add their name and teacher when prompted so they receive the credit for your contribution. Click "check out" to complete the process for making your gift. Thank you for your support!
