What is Move-A-Thon?
Move-A-Thon (formerly) Globe Trot is typically the PTA’s largest fundraiser of the year. Money raised by the PTA support class field trips, teacher grants, student snacks, playground equipment and more! This year we are raising money for Yearbooks for ALL. Wade King PTA is also proudly part of the Bellingham Public Schools Equity Fund, helping to support all students and schools in the Bellingham School District.

Why: This year, the PTA granted $15,000 directly back to our school! Those funds bought new recess equipment, books, new writing curriculum for 3-5th grade, funded choir, new PE equipment, art supplies, and much more! In addition to special grants this year, we continue to support IB enrichment, community events, and student & staff needs.
