Parent/Guardian Participation Challenge

The Parker Fund Participation Challenge is back again for the 2024–25 school year! Thank you to those who participated already—your support is building a brighter future for our students!
 
What is the Parker Fund Participation Challenge?
To encourage parent/guardian participation in the Parker Fund, each grade that reaches 85% participation by Tuesday, December 31 will win their choice of a fun, free and fully planned in-person activity for either all students, parents/guardians or families of that grade.–
 
Parents/Guardians in the winning grade(s) will vote on which in-person activity they would like for their grade’s students or parents/guardians. Last year, we had several winners:
  • Class of 2037 (current SK) won a Parents’ Happy Hour/Kids’ Movie Night
  • Class of 2036 (current 1st Grade) won a Parents’ Happy Hour/Kids’ Movie Night
  • Class of 2034 (current 3rd Grade) won a Student Fun Day
  • Class of 2032 (current 5th Grade) won a Student Fun Day
 
As you can see from last year, more than one grade can win! All grades who win this challenge will have in-person events held this spring.
 
We hope you’ll participate today for fun and prizes but, most importantly, for Parker! Please join us and your class by making a gift today at fwparker.org/parker-fund
 
Thank you in advance for helping us keep building!
