For the Kids Fundraiser Event Recap

The FOR THE KIDS event hosted by Georgia Tech at Walton High School was a huge success! With the help of Walton’s Student Leadership Council and Walton’s Student Government, we overshot our combined fundraiser goal for the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta! Thank you to all those who participated, your contributions will go a long way in making an impact for the next generation.

For the Kids Dance Marathon

Walton’s Robotics team, Student Government Association and Student Leadership Council  are combining efforts with Georgia Tech students to bring a “For the Kids” event to Walton on January 25, 2020 from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. in the Dining Hall.  All proceeds benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Every student from Walton is invited to join us for the event.  The theme is “Keeping the Kid at Heart.”  Lots of games, music and fun activities are planned for the day that will ensure fun for all.

Everyone must register to attend the event. The link is below for your convenience.  We will also have computers available during lunch hours outside the dining hall on Thursday and Friday. Please join us and support this worthwhile cause for our community.  Students will receive community service hours for participation also.  It’s a WIN, WIN for everyone!
