We shine the community spotlight on the Southeast Seattle Schools Fundraising Alliance (SESSFA) and their annual Move-a-Thon — a creative fundraising event that supports 17 public schools in Southeast Seattle. Guest Heather Hart explains how the Move-a-Thon got started, what it looks like at different schools, and the unique equity-based model used to distribute the funds raised.
You’ll hear how Move-a-Thon dollars go toward everything from snacks and field trips to interpreters and library books—and how it’s helping to build stronger, more connected school communities. Mercer Middle School PTA Vice President Arthitaya Katayama shares firsthand how the funds are impacting her school.
