Description
Scootathon has been a beloved Brooklyn Waldorf tradition since 2009, when it was founded by a group of parents as a fundraiser for the new little school bringing Waldorf education to Brooklyn. IT IS NOT ACTUALLY A RACE, it is a challenge you will make yourself and ask your sponsors to support, on behalf of BWS.
We're all in this together to have fun and raise money for our wonderful school, where we believe in educating the whole person - "hands, hearts and heads".
"The Big Loop" is 3/4 of the main park drive, with a section that passes directly past the Nethermead area, allowing for cheering our riders as they pass.
Adults and students 5th grade and above are encouraged to scoot the Big Loop! Skateboarding, biking, running are also allowed. We salute however you ride the loop! (Only adults are asked to "sign up", BWS students can just ride)
"The Mini Loop" is the small paved sidewalk path that encircles the Nethermead (but is not entirely visible from the Nethermead lawn). This loop is reserved for small children and students up to 4th grade, and scooting is the preferred vehicle. Children are not asked to "sign up" here.
Sign Up to Help Us Raise $30,000 by May 31st!
We are asking all BWS families to participate in fundraising for Scootathon.
Want to ride the loop?
-Click the SIGN UP button below. It's so easy, you'll see! Adults only, Children do not need to sign up.
-Register as an individual first, which will automatically lead you to create your fundraising page. (If you create a fundraising page first, you will end up with two so don’t do that…)
-The platform will ask you if you want to join one of the TEAMs we have set up. You may choose your child’s class for instance.
Have fun with this, make it your own! This is what you will send out to your supporters.
Don't want to ride, just want to be a FUNDRAISER?
Bypass the Sign Up button and go instead to the drop down menu under DONATE, and choose BECOME A FUNDRAISER. Follow prompts to create your own page, join one of the Teams if you want, and then send it out far and wide!
Every (tax deductible!) donation, large or small, helps BWS pay teachers, offer financial aid to families who need it, enrich programs and care for our beautiful historic building.
