Walter J. Paton School PTO

As a school, we have reached our initial goal of $10,000! 🎉 Thank you all so much for your generosity and sharing your fundraising link with friends and family! We think we can make it even further to help our school reach a new goal of $15,000. If we can hit this new goal, the funds will go toward installing a Gaga Ball pit in the playground!

We have a fun weekend challenge to help us reach our new goal. Get a $60 flat donation or $2 per lap donation before Monday and you’ll score a GOLDEN EDITION Dude Perfect keychain! 😮 Good luck!

Each day the students will have character challenges, learn the Castle Quest cheer and participate in so much more fun - culminating in the Fun Run on Wednesday 9/18.

During the event each student can walk, run or skip around a track with music playing and Paton staff and volunteers cheering them on for 35 minutes.
