Way To Go, Tiger Community!
In 2024, we raised more than $80,000 for students and student activities. Thank you to everyone who supported the Walk-A-Thon! We are grateful for the CPTA and WAT committee who went above and beyond to make this year's event full of fun and purpose. Thank you to all the staff, parents, grandparents, and alumni who ran carnival games, sold baked goods, crossed off laps, and did so much more.
We also had higher student participation than at least the previous five years. More than 100 students exceeded their personal fundraising goal, and 50 students earned the 500 club badge for raising more than $500.
Check out some of the photos capturing what a FULL day it was. We hope to see you all back again in October 2025!
About the Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser
The annual SJCS Walk-A-Thon (WAT) is San Jose Christian's only student fundraiser of the year, organized by the CPTA. The entire SJCS Community, including friends, family, alumni, and neighbors, are invited to contribute and participate as we raise money for our school.
Funds raised from the Walk-A-Thon support the following SJCS activities and programs:
- Student Activity Fund
This fund supports preschool - 8th grade in areas such as classroom activities, music program, playground equipment and special projects. This fund also contributes to the Learning Center, Library, P.E. equipment and single-day field trips.
- Multi-Day Field Trip Fund
Help subsidize the cost for multi-day field trips which help our students grow their responsibility and knowledge of the world around them. These trips include: 4th grade gold country, 5th grade Mission Springs outdoor education, 6th & 7th grade spiritual retreat / Catalina Island trip, and 8th grade Washington D.C. trip.
- Christian Parent Teacher Association (CPTA)
The CPTA supports teachers (i.e. class supplies, Staff Appreciation Week, Parent Education, Coffee Cart) and school-wide events.
