New AND Improved Box Tops Program
The BoxTops Program is going digital! Check out this FLYER for more information. Still have actual BoxTops? Send them to school - we are still accepting paper versions through the fall.
READ-A-THON
After many years of a Fun Run, we have decided to work out our brains this year! Our fall fundraiser is going to be a READ-A-THON. It will be similar in structure to a fun run, but we will be reading for endurance instead of running. Websites will be set up for each child in the school and all pledges will made through the website.
Read-A-Thon Kickoff: Monday, September 23rd
Reading Themed Spirit Days: September 24th - October 1st
Read-A-Thon: Wednesday, October 2nd
Pledges will be made for each minute read (30 minute max) on the big day.
There will be fun prizes and experiences for all of our readers!
Look for more info to come home soon!
The money raised for the fall fundraiser will go to...
A LIBRARY MAKE OVER!!!
I'm sure all of you who have been in our library agree that it could use a refresh. We will be recovering the chairs, painting the walls, and making our library the best in the district! We are so excited for this read-a-thon and all we can do for our school library!
