Walk-a-thon

Rowe School PTO’s long-standing fundraiser will be held on Friday, October 24, 2025. This event is held during school hours and students should wear comfortable shoes, Rowe shirts, dress for the outside weather, and go to school ready to walk.

Students will be sent home in the coming week with a packet and instructions to record and collect donations. Donations can be in cash or checks made out to “Rowe School PTO” from family, friends and neighbors. Credit card donations can be made online at: roweschoolpto.org/walkathon.

Want in on the fun? Volunteer for Walk-A-Thon!

What does Walk-A-Thon volunteering look like?

• Cheering the kids on

• Making sure everyone is following the route

• Lap Scanning

Join us for a magical afternoon of adventure at Rowe Elementary on Saturday, October 11 from Noon–2 PM (please note the time change)! This year’s theme is “Dragons of the Autumn Twilight”—and a quest awaits!

Enjoy FREE family fun, snacks, dragon eggs, mask coloring, and more. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate fall with crafts, quests, and a little bit of magic. HUZZAH!

*Due to the school building being closed, restrooms will be unavailable.

Thank you to everyone that joined us for a great meeting to kick off the new school year. If you were unable to attend, we invite you to read the meeting minutes.

Please sign up here if you are able to help volunteer at this year's Flu Clinic on October 27 between 9-11 am. We are looking for a few adults who can help walk kids to and from class and provide some TLC while MaineHealth administers the vaccinations.

We invite your family to join the school wide directory. The PTO will distribute a school-wide directory that families can use to contact other parents to coordinate playdates, arrange carpooling, and send out birthday party invitations. You can also opt-in to a classroom directory that Room Parents will distribute at the individual classroom level.

Click here to add your family to the school-wide directory here.

There is a new directory each year, so please add your information even if you did so last year! Please complete a separate form for each Rowe student. The school directory is for personal, social use only and may not be used for solicitation, advertisement, marketing, or mass emails. For questions, email vicepresident@roweschoolpto.org

The following classes are still looking for a parent volunteer to be Room Parents: Allen (Pre-K), Chambers (1st), Williams (1st), Gellar (2nd), Forrest (4th)!

This role requires only 2-3 hours per month and aims to build community between class families. Some examples of what this might look like are: coordinating volunteers, creating a class directory, and organizing class get-togethers.

Learn more here or by emailing vicepresident@roweschoolpto.org. Sign up: https://bit.ly/roweroomparents
