What is the LTESMS Read-a-Thon?
Participants will focus on their reading skills, love for reading and participate for chances to win grade level and school-wide prizes. Participants will also have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite book character at school.
How do I get pledges?
Ask friends and family! Share our school donation link and donate with Credit Card or Pay Pal! https://app.99pledges.com/fund/ltesmsreadathon OR pick up a pledge form and donation envelope in the front office of the school.
What is our goals?
To make sure ALL students finish the event with a strong desire TO READ EVERY DAY and engage in building a positive school community. This means we want our school to read 51,000 minutes (20 minutes per student per day) for our Read-a-Thon.
To help LTESMS raise funds to support NEW BOOK SERIES FOR OUR BOOK ROOM AND FUNDS TO UPDATE ALL CLASSROOM LIBRARIES. The chapter book section of our room will be updated and expanded in order to ensure enough copies for group book studies and a variety of independent reading choices for students. Teachers will also be able to add new reading opportunities for students by building up and refreshing their own classroom libraries. With your help, every student will benefit!
Our monetary goal is $10,000! If every student raises $28, we will reach this goal!
If we reach these goals, our students will have the opportunity to earn:
Grade Level Prizes:
The class with the most minutes read from each grade will receive a new book & a small book party
School-Wide Grand Prize:

1st Virtual Move-a-Thon
We're excited to announce our first virtual event of the year ... a Move-a-Thon! We hope to bring the school community together for a week of fun and fitness!
What is the LTESMS Move-a-Thon?
Participants earn money by exercising, logging minutes moved, and gathering pledges. Participants get pledges from family, friends, neighbors, and businesses to support their efforts. Donors can make a flat donation.
How do I get pledges?
Ask friends and family! Share our school donation link and donate with Credit Card or Pay Pal! https://app.99pledges.com/fund/LakeTahoe2020
Your student’s 99Pledges account will be activated on Friday, October 23rd. You should receive an email from 99Pledges with a link directly to your student’s donation page. If you don’t receive your student’s email on Friday, please contact us at ltesms.pta.ltusd@gmail.com.
What are our goals?
GOAL #1: To make sure ALL students finish the event with a strong desire TO EXERCISE EVERY DAY and engage in building a positive and healthy school community. This means we want our school to move 73,080 minutes (30 minutes per student per day) for our Move-a-Thon.
GOAL #2: To help LTESMS raise funds to support CLASSROOM SUPPLIES, YEARBOOKS, AND BUILD SCHOOL COMMUNITY. Every classroom has had to adapt to remote learning creating the need for additional and unexpected supplies to ensure ALL students succeed both in the classroom and at home. During this time it is also important to maintain some traditions like our kindness week, staff appreciation, and Earth week. Our monetary goal is $10,000! If every student raises $29, we will reach this goal!
If the daily minute goal is reached, our students will have the opportunity to earn:
