Walkathon 2024

Take a Walk on the Wild Side with the Vargas Walkathon on Friday, October 18!

Our students will embark on an adventure-filled walkathon adventure, walking laps to earn prizes while contributing to the PTA's annual budget which goes towards assemblies, field trips, and other student enrichment. But that's not all! There's even more fun to be had with food trucks, games, a photo booth, and more!
