Fundraising
Box Tops for Education
Box Tops for Education is an easy way to earn free money for our school. Families are asked to cut out the Box Tops labels from participating products and send them into school with their students. Committee Chair: Angela Harvey
Eagle Fund
This is a direct donation fundraising campaign. 100% of all donations go directly to the KP PTA and are tax deductible. Committee Chair: Kara Blond
Kensington 8K Race, 2-Mile Challenge, and 1K Fun Run
The 8K is a competitive race on a certified course. There is also a 2-mile race, a 1K Fun Run and a post-race festival. KP staff and parents are involved in all coordination efforts including publicity, solicitation of sponsors, registration, and in race day events and logistics. This event is not only a fundraiser but also an opportunity to promote our town, our school, and physical fitness. This has become a WJ cluster event; although KP earns the majority of the proceeds, they are shared with North Bethesda Middle School and Walter Johnson High School. Committee Chairs: John Seabreeze (head)
