// Schallenberger Walk-A-Thon 2026 · The Results
We did it, Owls!
Our Walk-A-Thon was a HUGE success — and it’s all thanks to YOU. Here’s what our community pulled off together.
We surpassed our $120,000 goal by nearly $20,000 — and with company matching donations still in progress, that number may keep growing! This total includes student pledges, family & business sponsorships, and SHSA swag purchases.

💙 A community worth celebrating
Every student & family made this possible
While we love recognizing our prize winners, we want every student and family to know that YOU made this happen. What makes Walk-A-Thon so special isn’t just the amount raised — it’s seeing our students come together, our families cheer each other on, and our whole school rally around a shared goal.
Because of your generosity, SHSA can keep supporting the programs, experiences, and opportunities that make Schallenberger such a wonderful place for our kids to learn and grow.
Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and making this year’s Walk-A-Thon one to remember. We can’t wait to share more about the impact of your support all year long. Go Owls! 🦉
