This year we are bringing back a fundraiser favorite that not only supports our school, but also supports each student's SUMMER READING goal and personal reading development goal. This year our fundraiser will help pay for a new gaga ball pit for our playground!

Make a tax-deductible pledge to encourage reading and raise money for our school. Our Read-A-Thon will be based on a school wide reading event from May 20th and ending on August 31st after the next school year has begun.  Teachers will be incorporating reading theme days into a Spirit Week along with House "Change Wars." 

Two Ways to Make a Pledge: 1. FLAT DONATION - You can sponsor a student with a flat amount. 2. PLEDGE PER MINUTE - You can pledge an amount for minutes read.

For example, if a student reads for 60 minutes and you sponsored a student for 25 cents, you would owe .25 x 60 minutes = $15. 

Your Student's Pledge Page: Setting up your child’s personal fundraising site is EASY!  Simply follow the steps below:

1. Go to our fundraising site:  https://app.99pledges.com/fund/maybeury2023/addme

1a.  You can also go to “Add Participant,” on the Home page which is under the “Group Standings” that lists each Maybeury teacher.

2.  Under Group please select your student’s teacher for THIS SCHOOL YEAR (22/23).

3. Your child’s personalized fundraising page is now ready to go!  You can customize your child’s photo if you’d like.  Simply make a donation for whatever amount you can and share your personal link with friends and family.  We are shooting for 100% participation and NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL! Students will also be able to log their reading minutes electronically within their fundraising page or on the paper reading log.

Awards & Giveback:  Participation prize - all students who receive a single pledge for any amount will receive a  scented, Scratch N Sniff magnetic bookmark to make reading even more fun!

 Track Your Student’s Reading Progress: 

This book log  is for Mallards to track their reading minutes. These logs  will also be printed and sent home in backpacks + available for parents during packet pickup.  Minutes can also be logged online, on students' personal fundraising pages that are set up through 99 Pledges.

 Please complete your online reading log or turn in your reading log to teachers or the front office by Thursday, August 31st  for a chance to win a grand prize. 

Thank you Mallard community and please post photos on the Maybeury PTA Facebook page and show us what and how you’re reading!

Let's make the end of the school year extra fun with friendly House competition and Read-A-Thon theme days. From 5/22 through 5/25 bring in change (coins only) and place them in your House bucket located by the library.  The House who earns the most in coins WINS!  From 5/30 -6/1 participate in our themed days!  We can't wait to see what our Mallard book worms come up with!
