Running

Let's Get Moving, Orcas!

Today is the official launch of our annual....
x̌alilc (Halilts) MOVE-A-THON!

This is is the ONLY fundraiser for the 2025-2026 school year, and we need all hands on deck to reach this year’s goal of $85,000! Fundraising starts today and culminates on Friday, October 24th when families are invited to come and cheer on students while they move!

What is a move-a-thon?

The Move-a-thon kicks off with an incredible display of school spirit, community, and healthy movement! On October 24, all x̌alilc students will get their bodies moving during a fun run with activity stations on the field. It’s not a race—we don’t count laps—it’s all about having fun, being active, promoting wellness and raising money for our school!

In the two weeks leading up to the Move-a-thon, students will participate in fundraising, prize drawings, and activities that build excitement, connection, and a shared commitment to health and community.

Why is raising money important?

Raising money directly supports the experiences and opportunities that make x̌alilc such a special place to learn and grow. Every dollar raised helps enrich our students’ education, strengthen our community, and provide resources that go beyond what the district budget can cover.

These funds support:
  • Teacher grants for classroom projects
  • Field trips that extend learning beyond the classroom
  • Garden supplies and the Garden Club
  • STEM materials for hands-on exploration
  • Community events like the Harvest Festival
  • Recess activities and playground supplies
  • Yearbooks for every student
  • Teacher appreciation efforts
…and much more, as requested by school leadership to meet evolving needs.

Raising Funds and Having Fun!

Go to https://go.rallyup.com/orcas25 or use our QR code to register your student(s) to create a personal donation page.

You’ll then be able to share your student’s page link via email or social media. Registration is not required, but is the only way to donate in your student's name (and go toward the class total to earn prizes!). We’re trying to get 100% registration, so register early!

Make a donation online, donate by cash or check, and spread the word to family and close friends. Our goal is $85,000, which is about $260 per student. Some will do more, some will do less, but we are hoping for 100% participation. Every gift makes a difference!

Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors!

Our corporate sponsors join the cause early on, with a monetary donation or in-kind donation. A big thank you to these local businesses!
