Support Hawthorne Elementary and all 17 elementary, K-8, and middle schools in Southeast Seattle during the annual Move-a-Thon fundraising drive this spring!

Friends of Hawthorne (FoH) is thrilled to be participating in the Southeast Seattle Schools Fundraising Alliance to raise money for Hawthorne Elementary and more than 6,700 public school students in Southeast Seattle. At Hawthorne Elementary, we are celebrating the Move-a-Thon on Friday April 4th, where every student will have an opportunity to move their bodies, play, have fun, and support their community.

WHAT IS THE MOVE-A-THON? At Hawthorne Elementary, every student is invited to dance, play, move, and have fun- this will happen in a special P.E. rotation for all students on Friday April 4th. The Move-A-Thon is also a fundraiser! Students and their families can ask neighbors, friends, and family members to donate any amount of money to support our coalition of schools. It’s fun to create a personal fundraising pagethrough SESSFA to share with your supporters!
