Pacelli’s St. Francis Walk is our annual fundraiser (previously the Walkathon) that promotes school spirit, faith, physical fitness, and community service. We are asking EVERY family to help raise funds during the next 3 weeks. Each student is encouraged but not limited to raising a goal of $100. Raise as much as you can because the classroom that raises the most will win a grand prize. Ask your relatives near and far, coworkers, neighbors, and trusted friends to make a pledge to Pacelli, sponsoring you, by using the envelope attached or by scanning the QR code at the bottom of this page. Students and classes will have the opportunity to earn prizes and awards based on the dollar amount they raise. Please help us meet our goal.
The St. Francis walk will be held during the school day on Monday, October 4th starting at Pacelli and ending at Mill Pond-Horace Park in Austin. This is a fun, all-school event. Students will walk along a designated route, supervised by adults, along the way the students and staff will be cleaning our community, filling as many garbage bags as possible. Lunch and fun will follow our clean-up efforts. Parents are also welcome to join in! Please make sure your child dresses in jeans (no rips or holes), a Pacelli shirt (or green shirt), and wears proper walking shoes. This is an important fundraiser for our school! The money we raise from the walk is used to benefit Pacelli Catholic Schools and to enrich student’s educational experiences. Prizes are also awarded to students and classes that raise the most money. A pledge envelope is attached which needs to be filled out and returned to school each Friday morning. With the final collection, on Monday, October 4th. Donations are tax-deductible. Our preschool students will be joining us for this all-school event.
Volunteers needed! We need parents to help on the day of the walk, setting up, and serving lunch. It’s a fun day and a great way to get involved! If you wish to help or just have questions, please email Andrea Severtson at asevertson@pacellischools.org. Hope to see you on Monday, October 4th.
