Welcome to Detroit Waldorf School's 40th Annual Walk-a-thon!

Detroit Waldorf School’s Annual Walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 20th on Belle Isle! Students, teachers, families, and friends will walk (8th grade will bike!) around the island to help raise funds for DWS and celebrate the beauty of our community. All are welcome to walk with their child’s class. The Walk-a-thon is our largest student-powered fundraiser and an exciting way to get students active in supporting their school.

Donations help to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the cost of running the school. This year, our goal is to raise $67,000 that will directly support the exceptional education that Detroit Waldorf School provides our students. This goal breaks down to $250 per student, plus an additional $2,000 from our greater DWS community.

This year, in lieu of doing individual class service projects for the Walk-a-thon, DWS students will be participating in a schoolwide Spare Change Drive to learn the value of giving back to people in need. With communities requiring immediate assistance in parts of the world such as Morocco, Libya, and at home in Maui, the DWS College of Teachers has chosen the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as the organization this Spare Change Drive will support. Please send all spare change to the child's class teachers starting Monday, September 18th. The Drive will end on Friday, October 27th.

Thank you for supporting Detroit Waldorf School's Annual Walk-a-thon and good luck Teams!
