Dear Kernsville Families:

The Kernsville PTO is excited to launch its SECOND Walk A Thon campaign! On October 18, we will be hosting the Coyote Crawl at the school. This Walk-A-Thon is to raise funds for all student field trips, teacher appreciation, guest speakers, assemblies, school wide activities and other school initiatives. Our goal is to raise at least $20,000 but ANY donation is welcome! If every child raises $50, we can reach our goal and more! 

We would like for this to be our ONLY fundraiser of the 2024/2025 school year – no more selling candles, candy, wrapping paper or other items from which we only collect a small percentage of total sales. However, if we do not reach our goal, we will need to go back to traditional fundraising so we can continue to bring high quality programming to our students. If we reach our goal there will be a school-wide prize!!

The Coyote Crawl

Our Walk-A-Thon will be a school wide-event to promote school spirit! We are incredibly proud of our Kernsville community and we want to encourage our students to come together to celebrate our amazing school. The students will spend 45 minutes “crawling” around Kernsville’s walking track and participating in obstacle courses, games and bubble stations. 

Two Ways To Donate 

1. We are excited to streamline our fundraiser by going online. You will now be able to reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks. 

For online donations, simply search (by student’s first name or last name) and find your participant’s online pledge page here: 

https://app.99pledges.com/fund/kernsville

You do not need to login or change anything. Make a donation for whatever you can, and share your participant’s link with friends and family. We are shooting for 100% participation so no amount is too small. 

2. Cash and checks are also accepted! Checks can be made payable to Kernsville PTO. Please put any cash or check donations in an envelope labeled “Kernsville PTO Coyote Crawl” with your student’s name, grade and teacher. 

3. Use the QR code at the bottom to help navigate quicker to the 99Pledges site. 

Awards 

  • School-wide reward if $20,000 is reached
  • Prizes are still coming in! So far we have gift cards/tickets for Dave and Buster, Reading Royals, Dutch Wonderland, Miller Symphony Hall and Young Chefs Academy.  More to come!!
  • Top earning grade level will win a pizza and pajama party!
  • If we reach $25,000 another school-wide reward will happen because of your support! This will be a surprise!

Keep an eye on our PTO Facebook page and the BAND app for Coyote Crawl updates and progress! Thank you so much for your continued support of our amazing Kernsville Coyotes!
