On Friday, May 5th*, Canty will be hosting a Rainbow Walkathon Fundraiser. Funds will be used to help upgrade the exterior of the school to increase pride in our neighborhood school!

While the field needs serious repair, those costs are over $1 million, and in order for that to be accomplished, parents are encouraged to go to CPS board meetings to push for those repairs to be made as soon as possible.  

However, while we wait for that to be completed, we can raise money to beautify the school in other ways including; but not limited to, signage; either a marquee, murals, and/or on our playground fences; school garden improvements; or landscaping.   Just a marquee can range in price from $10,000 to $30,000!

The hope is to make this walkathon an annual event where funds raised will roll over each year and be used for continuous exterior enhancements.  

The plan is for students to walk around the block of the school for 30 minutes with their homerooms. After each lap, students will get a different color stripe on their arm, the goal is to walk enough laps to have a rainbow. There will also be bubbles, music, popsicles, and fun!

Students are encouraged to ask for pledges from family and friends. Students who raise enough money will be eligible to win prizes!
