Read-A-Thon Starts This Week!

The Read-A-Thon starts on Jan. 17 and will be running for 30 days (until Feb. 16). Your child should have already recieved their Read-A-Thon packet. If not, please contact your homeroom teacher. Included is a sponsor sheet, instructions, a reading log and three “thank you” slips that include our tax id.

Please spread the word about getting sponsors for the students. Friends, family, co-workers, even the kids themselves can be a sponsor. Sponsors can donate as little as one cent a minute or even a flat donation. Minutes are based on the grade that the student is in and reading to your child counts as part of the minutes. (K-2 = 20 minutes, 3-5 = 25 minutes and 6-8 = 30 minutes). Please check to see if your employer will match donations.

Half of what your child raises stays in their homeroom class. This is a great opportunity for your teacher to purchase items specifically needed for THEIR curriculum to enhance your child’s experience!

Thank you all for your support and hopefully we can include this as an annual event to coincide with Literacy Month. Please contact Christina Sullivan with any questions.
