Marshall Elementary Principal Katelyn Walker and her staff are always amazed at how much their elementary students bring in during their one and only fundraiser each year. This year students raised $30,716 during their Annual Walkathon event.

“The kids always look forward to our walkathon and they can’t wait to find out who won prizes,” Walker said. “The money raised allows our students to experience meaningful field trips and be rewarded for academic success as well as exceptional character. We will also be able to replace some of our worn-out playground equipment.”

It was a great day for all the Marshall students from Pre-K to 2nd grade to walk and enjoy some sunshine along with fresh air. Of course there was extra fun to be had as classes got to take their turn playing games, getting their faces painted and bouncing on a couple bounce houses too.

The top three earning classes were: 1st place – Mrs. Thompson class with $4,021 2nd place – Ms. Mae’s class with $3,556 3rd place – Mrs. York’s class with $1,907 The top earning students were: 1st place – Annistyn Perez who won a teal & pink girl’s bike 2nd place- Lucas Schuering who won a trampoline 3rd place – Jack Crawley who won a Cocoon Chair 4th place –Merritt Myers who won a Frozen II Mercedes GLS Electric Ride-On 5th place – Madison McDonald who won a trampoline Since starting their walkathons in 2016, Marshall Elementary has brought in a grand total of $209,821.08.
