Walk-a-Thon

Walk-A-Thon

Montclaire's annual Walk-A-Thon (“WAT”) is Saturday, April 5th!

This is one of our school's largest fundraising and community events - (and the most fun if you ask your kids). It provides crucial support for the programs and additional teaching resources that our students rely on.

This daylong event includes a walk-a-thon, music, carnival games, and lots of great food, and family activities! We will also host a kids' raffle with the grand prize of a Nintendo Switch.

Mark your calendars and plan to spend the day having fun and supporting Montclaire in the process!
