Let's Get Moving!

The Lafayette Move-A-Thon is a celebration of movement! Our students look forward to actively participating and raising funds to make Lafayette an amazing school! Your contributions support PTA programs, like tutors for our students, our garden program, our online reading platform and fun events for the students throughout the year.

Each student has 20 minutes to complete as many laps as they can along with their classmates. Students move at their own pace and complete anywhere from 5/10 laps up to 20/25 laps! You can support your favorite Leopard Learner by contributing a set donation amount or motivate them with a per-mile contribution!

Thanks for your support and being a part of our Lafayette Leopard community!

    Hey friends and family!

    The annual Lafayette Elementary Move-a-thon, the Rainbow Ramble, is coming up on October 18th! This year, our amazing students will have 20 minutes to run as many laps around the track as they can, all while raising funds for our school.

    The school is aiming to raise $75,000 to support programs that enrich our kids' education, including our garden program, tutoring, school supplies, and fun events throughout the year. Plus, if we reach our goal, we’ll win a Movie Day at the Admiral Theater and other fantastic prizes!

    You can help by donating a flat amount or pledging a donation per lap—most kids run about 10-15 laps! Every dollar counts and makes a big difference!

    Please consider supporting our wonderful school, Lafayette Elementary, and our students by clicking the link below to donate. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Multiply your contribution for free with Donation Matching!

Many companies generously match the donations that their employees make to non-profit entities like the Lafayette PTA. Taking advantage of a company’s matching gift program is a great way to increase your donation without it costing anything except a little time – it’s a HUGE opportunity for our school!  

  • At check out, provide your employer’s name and your work email address.

  • If you make a flat pledge and know that your employer matches charitable donations, immediately initiate action to have the gift matched.

  • If you make a per-lap pledge, you'll have to wait until the Move-A-Thon event to determine the final contribution to request your employer's match.

  • If you are unsure if your company has a matching gift program, don’t worry! Just provide the name of your company and your work email address and we will validate if you work for a matching funds company. We’ll be following up with you directly to provide any support you may need.

If you have any questions regarding matching funds, please contact your company’s Human Resources department or contact the Lafayette PTA directly at wat.lafayette@gmail.com
