How does the Walk-a-thon work you ask? In fulfillment of their commitment to family, neighbors and friends who pledge money in their honor, Abbott students will walk and/or run with their class for 30 minutes during the school day on October 4th 2019.

Wondering what the PTO did with the money you pledged for last year’s walk?  Some of the funds from prior years’ Walk-a-thons have been put aside to possibly be used for a larger scale project in the near future. Over the summer of 2019 the PTO was able to pay to upgrade & update the Smart Projectors in each classroom! The remainder of the money YOU pledge is used for many other school betterment projects.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
