"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" — Psalm 133:1
Why we walk
The Walk-A-Thon kicks off the school year with the whole Trinity community together — and it's our biggest fundraiser. Every pledge reduces the building debt and provides tuition assistance for Trinity families in need, which helps keep tuition affordable for everyone.

Kids are entered in a prize drawing each of the four weekly online pledge updates — submit on time! Weekly update links are shared by the school each week.
The big day
Check in in front of school, grab family nametags, and head to the flagpole. Bring your own water bottle — no cups on the course.
Walk instructions at the flagpole; classes are dismissed to walk together so families can walk with their kids' classes.
Start walking! About 2 miles around the Trinity neighborhood. Strollers and wagons welcome — please leave pets, bikes, blades, and scooters at home.
Snacks & fellowship back at the flagpole — water, coffee, and time to connect while all walkers finish.
Awards in the cafetorium — pledge prizes announced. Don't miss it!
Dress to impress
One order per family — pick a size for each walker and come back anytime before the deadline to check or change it.

Collecting pledges
Ask family, friends, neighbors, and church members to sponsor your walkers. Track everyone on the family pledge sheet, and update your online pledge total each Tuesday.
New this year: one sheet per family. Print it, track your pledges on the back, and turn it in at the office (or with your child) after the walk — due Thursday, October 8. Checks payable to Trinity Christian School — no cash, please.
