Walkathon 2019

The 2019 Walkathon will be held on Thursday, September 26th, 2019. The rain date will be Friday, September 27th. More information will be communicated this Fall about how you can participate. If you wish to volunteer to help plan the Walkathon please email us at or sign up to volunteer here.

Our Walkathon is our biggest fundraiser of the school year and in 2018 we raised over $65,000. Funds from the Walkathon were used to update technology at Skinner West Elementary School such as new projectors in the annex, new laser printers, and additional Chromebooks for the 1:1 initiative.  Your donations this year will go to fund the remainder of the projectors in the annex, to update our Chromebooks and to supply other technology or classroom needs.

As always, the 5 classrooms that raise the most money will earn $500 for their teacher to spend on items to use in the classroom as well as an ice cream party!

In addition to the prize above, those families whose donations qualify for any of the awards below will have their names posted to our Wall of Fame on the Friends of Skinner West Facebook page

*2000+ PLATINUM
*$1,000-1,999 GOLD
* $500-$999 SILVER
*$250-$499 BRONZE

Holiday Giving Drive 2019-2020

Each year Friends of Skinner Wests hosts a Holiday Giving Drive to help students in need.  We collect new clothing, shoes, toys and books for students who may need some extra assistance to get them through the winter. Last year, we supplied holiday gifts for 53 Skinner Superstars! Look for an announcement in November for how you can help with this year’s Holiday Giving drive.
