Green Park Lutheran School Kicks Off “Chalk It Up” Fundraising Campaign with Early Giving Starting April 22

Green Park Lutheran School is excited to announce the return of its vibrant and community-driven fundraising campaign,
“Chalk It Up,” in support of enhancing school resources for students and the broader community. Early giving for the
campaign begins on April 22, 2026, and runs through May 7, 2026, building momentum toward this year's Give STL Day
celebration.

Following the success of last year's campaign, the school once again invites families, alumni, and community members to
come together in support of a meaningful new initiative. This year, Green Park Lutheran School has set a fundraising goal
of $6,500, which will go toward the purchase of 30 padded, Green Park-branded folding chairs. These chairs will enhance
seating for community events, school gatherings, and athletic programs, providing comfort, school spirit, and increased
capacity for years to come.

“We are excited to bring back 'Chalk It Up' and invite our community to once again be part of something truly
meaningful,” said Lisa Waltenberger, Principal of Green Park Lutheran School. “The generosity of our supporters directly
impacts not only our students, but also the families and guests who gather in our spaces for events and celebrations.”

The campaign will culminate in the school's signature “Chalk It Up” celebration event on May 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. At this
high-energy event, students and staff dressed in white will run through a cheering crowd as clouds of vibrant chalk fill
the air, symbolizing the power of community support and shared success.

Local media are invited to attend and capture the excitement, color, and spirit of the Green Park community as they
celebrate reaching their goal.

Celebration Event: May 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
Location: Green Park Lutheran School, 4248 Green Park Rd, St. Louis, MO 63125
