Winfield Tiger Run Now Seeking Sponsorships!

On Sunday, May 3rd, 2026, the Winfield District 34 PTO and the Winfield Education Foundation will be hosting our 10th annual Tiger Run, a community-wide 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk. We welcome and greatly appreciate local businesses and organizations getting involved in this event. Your generous support will benefit over 300 students as we work to enrich educational opportunities and support our community. Funds raised from this year’s event will support our annual fund and our long-term fundraising effort to update the preschool playground. With the support of the Preschool for All grant, we have an amazing opportunity to make this outdoor area a place for our youngest learners to explore, thrive and learn all while playing outside and interacting with peers.

Winfield 2026 Tiger Run

TIGER RUN

We hope you will join us for Tiger Run 2026 on Sunday, May 3rd at Lions Park. We will once again have prizes for our top student pledge raisers!

Your fundraising dollars at work!

Thanks to the incredible support of our school families, we’re able to offer a Teacher Grant Program that helps fund special classroom items not covered by the regular school budget.

One of our teachers recently applied for coding robots, and we’re excited to share that your fundraising efforts made it possible! These robots give students hands-on experience with coding, problem-solving, and creativity.

Thank you for supporting our teachers and students!
