Oak Elementary School

The annual Oak Walkathon is not only one of the most fun events for our school but also one of the PTA’s most important fundraising events, eliciting nearly 100% participation from Oak students.

Students raise money by collecting pledges from family and friends who are invited to come and cheer on the students. Volunteers help the students mark and track their completed laps. We will have lots of food, games, and prizes, so don’t miss this event!

All proceeds from the walkathon go directly to Oak Avenue Elementary School, giving our school funds for programs, supplies, and resources it needs to provide the best education possible. Every year, Oak counts on this fundraiser to pay for art and science supplies, classroom technology, teacher training, noontime student activities, library books, and much more!

1. Register here for free
2. To start fundraising, share your fundraising page with friends, relatives, neighbors, community members, etc for donations.
   • Note: Alternatively, checks can be made out to “Oak Ave PTA” with “Walkathon” in the memo line and sent to Oak Avenue Elementary School, 1501 Oak Avenue, Los Altos, CA 94024

Please note that parents/guardians must be present and assume all responsibility for their children during the event, including supervising or preventing participation in activities as they judge appropriate. Also, parents must accept that photos taken at the Walkathon, some of which may include their children, may be shared with others in the Oak School community. By participating in the Walkathon, parents grant their express permission for such photos to be taken and shared with the Oak School Community.

Siblings are welcome. No pre-registration is required as parents should assume all responsibility for their children during the event. However, sending a heads up about sibling participation to oak-walkathon@googlegroups.com is appreciated. On the day of the Walkathon, siblings should head to the check-in table as “vintage” t-shirts may be available (while supplies last).

To make this event possible, we need the help of nearly 200 parent volunteers. This is a great event to help at if you are a working parent since it is on a Saturday. 

We also welcome middle/high school students to help out during the event.
