The Walk-a-thon is PCA’s biggest fall fundraiser, generating funds necessary to help PCA continue providing your student with the top-quality academics, social events, and facilities you appreciate.  The goal of the Walk-a-thon is to get students involved in making an early investment in their school.  Tuition only covers the operating expenses of the school, so enlisting students’ help not only enables us to have the extras we all want for our children, but develops the students’ work ethic as well. The Walk-a-thon allows students to develop school spirit and work as a team to see a reward for that work.  

Parkview positively impacts students, families, and staff on a daily basis. We have the opportunity for our students to socialize and build relationships while being instructed from a Biblical worldview.

The Walk-a-thon is a way to give back and help us improve what we do on a daily basis. Because of the generosity of our previous Walk-a-thon donors, we: 

• added extra space at our Upper Campus by finishing off the room that is now being used as a  cafeteria/auditorium/chapel area, 
• purchased a brand new color copier for our Lower Campus, 
• purchased a mini-bus to assist in transporting our athletes to and from athletic events,  
• gifted our teachers with mini-grants, which they used to purchase items for their classrooms, 
• and several other miscellaneous tasks were able to be completed -- simply because of our donors! 

We are THRILLED to announce that this year's funds will be used in three areas.

•  60% of funds raised will go toward playground improvements at our Lower Campus. We have had a tremendous opportunity of providing a safe and fun playground atmosphere for several years now. However, we also have had the desire and recent need to implement some upgrades to our playground. Donations received will go toward new equipment/upgrading the equipment we have, in addition to replacing the current playground flooring. 

• 35% of funds brought in will be used for mini-grants for our teachers at Parkview. We are so excited to bring back this category to bless our incredible teachers!  

  These grants will be organized and issued by the Development Committee. The teachers will apply for an item, or items, that will help make their calling of teaching our children both more manageable and better! This can range from technology to a large set of books or anything in between. The teachers often purchase items out of pocket to aid in the classroom, and a grant could relieve them of that. These items will directly impact the classroom this year and beyond. All the items will be approved by the administration and will be specifically Christ-centered education focused! This will be an incredible way for us to love on those who love on our children every day! 

• 5% of funds raised will go toward the purchase of brand new musical equipment for our Fine Arts Department! We are so excited to be able to provide new equipment for our music classes at our Upper Campus. The musical equipment will benefit students in Piano Lab, Junior/Senior High Worship Team, and choir. 

Additionally, at the bottom line, we rely on funds from our generous donors to operate our schools and be able to plan for the future. 

Here are just a few ways that we rely on your donations: 

• Most of our grades are at or near capacity. In order to create new space or hire additional staff, we need to raise additional funds beyond what tuition covers. 
• We have plans to add athletic fields and outdoor facilities to offer a wider variety of athletics to our students as our school continues to grow. 

STUDENTS WILL BE WALKING ON OCTOBER 27TH!

We will be accepting donations through October 30th. Thank you so much for your interest in donating!
