Wellness Week
Join the Stevenson PTO as we expand wellness beyond physical movement for a full week of activities to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Throughout the week we provide activities focused on topics like mindfulness, nutrition, digital awareness and social citizenry to kick-start and reinforce healthy habits in our students from the inside out. At the end of the week, kids participate in our annual
Move-A-Thon, a one-day event that links community support and fundraising to healthy habits and exercise.
Move Minds. Move Bodies. Move our Community Forward.

We couldn't do this without you and are proud to be part of your community!
Our Community Partners
Move-a-Thon Friday includes a great motivator for the students: a raffle ticket for each lap around Pierce Field they complete! There is a mix of experience prizes- like Principal for the Day- and tangible prizes as well. A majority of the 2025 prizes were generously donated by local businesses. Their support makes this event more exciting for the students and ensures donations go directly to future PTO programming. Thank these businesses for their support of Stevenson next time you stop by.
