Upper Lot Playground

Making Strides for Student Success!

  • Come cheer on your student(s)! Students will complete as many laps as they can, as parent volunteers marking their progress on their t-shirts.

NEW STUDENT SHOWCASE & Family Celebration: 2:30PM to 4:00pm

What is a Walk-a-thon?

It's a fun and healthy way for students to raise money for essential PTA programs! Students collect donations (flat fee) or pledges (per lap) as they walk/run a course in the Upper Lot playground.

All students will receive a free t-shirt to wear at the event.

TK, Kinder and 1st Grade: Youth Small

2nd and 3rd Grade: Youth Medium

4th and 5th Grade: Youth Large

2025 Marshall Lane Walk-a-thon T-shirts are available for adults to purchase.

If you are planning on volunteering for the event, please consider purchasing a shirt.

What is Pledgestar?

Pledgestar makes fundraising easy! This online tool creates a custom page for your student, so you can quickly send personalized pledge requests to family and friends or share it on social media.

For every family that registers, a 2025 Marshall Lane Walk-a-thon bracelet will be given to the student(s) prior to the event.

*There will be no individual lap prizes, only class level prizes this year.
