Our first major peer-to-peer fundraiser of the year, Run Walk Move is now live! The event itself takes place on Wednesday, October 8. However, the three-week period for fundraising begins TODAY and continues through October 17. Join us in celebrating the importance of healthy movement as our students engage in various activities, whether itโ€™s stretching, shuffling, shimmying or sprinting around the school to raise funds, strengthen their heart muscles, and - most importantly - have a great time! Every dollar raised supports SES PTSAโ€™s work maintaining our Garden, Music, and Field Study Programs! Tell your friends, grandparents, cousins, baristas, colleagues, and dog sitters. Share on social media! Please help us make a splash and achieve our stretch goal of $30,000 raised for SES.

This site is awesome and simple. If youโ€™re new to SES, โ€œRegisterโ€ your student. If youโ€™ve used this tool last year for RWM or Read-A-Thon, just sign back in. It provides Donate links, tracks your studentโ€™s donation progress, and even has an option to upload a picture of your student to create a โ€œStudent Starโ€ hype video thatโ€™s easy to share. Little known fact: Adults can turn in pledge sheets, too, and we encourage it! Download extra pledge sheets here to print at home, or get one from the office.
