๐Ÿšถ On Wednesday, October 7, all Austin Elementary Students took part in the annual Austin Elementary Schools Walkathon to raise money to support field trips, special programs, playground equipment, and much, much more. The goal was to raise $40,000 and walk 4,000 miles in total across all four sites, a feat which was handily accomplished.

๐ŸŽ For exceeding the walking goal with a total of 4,610 miles, students will celebrate with music at recess and surprise dance party visits from their principal.
๐ŸŽ For exceeding the fundraising goal, each school's principal will be taking part in an inflatable costume race this week.

Weโ€™d like to extend a huge shoutout to all our sponsors - their support means the world to our students and staff. Thank you!
