Salamander Stride 2026
The Salamander Stride is a school-wide Fun Run and fundraiser for the SCES PTA! It’s a non-competitive community event where students, families, and supporters come together to celebrate our school.
How It Works
Students invite family, friends, and neighbors to make pledges toward the PTA. Every contribution helps support our school!
We know not every family or student will be able to collect pledges, and that’s OK! Everyone participates in the Stride, regardless of fundraising.
Making a Donation
There are two ways to make a donation: through your student's fundraising page and using the donate button below.
If you are donating through the “Donate” button on this page rather than through a student’s personal fundraising page, please enter the student’s name and teacher when prompted. This ensures that your contribution is credited to their fundraising total.
Thank you for your support!
