Walk-a-Thon

The Mother Seton School annual Walk-a-Thon is a charity fund-raiser held each spring. Students ask friends and family to sponsor them as they walk the 2-mile route around campus and through the National Fire Academy grounds. Primary students walk with their class. Intermediate through Middle School students may walk independently and must check-in at stations placed in various locations along the route to verify their miles walked. Proceeds raised benefit a variety of causes.

Walkathon Details

Students will acquire pledges to contribute. Use the Pledgestar link for online
donations at http://pledgestar.com/seton OR use the paper pledge sheet to collect
donations (one pledge sheet per family with the oldest/only child’s name at the top).

Students (Grades 3-8) will walk the 2.0-mile chaperoned path as often as they desire,
beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending no later than 11:30 a.m.

Students (Grades Pre-K-2) will walk the path once accompanied by their homeroom
teachers. They may have the opportunity to do an optional second lap which the
homeroom teacher will determine. Parents are allowed to walk with the class. Please make
the teacher aware if you plan to help.

Please note the following:

  • Running is prohibited.
  • The school PE uniform may be worn with appropriate footwear. Students may wear a hat if they choose, and sunscreen is highly recommended (it must be applied before arriving at school).
  • Extra water bottles are encouraged.
