COLOR RUN 2019
This year will mark Olson PTO's fifth Color Run. Join us for this event on Friday, September 13, 2019 from 5-7PM to have fun and raise money for Olson.
Participation is easy: Each Olson student needs to collect at least $15 in pledge money to participate in the event. With that money, your student will receive a free Color Run t-shirt and a free color pack. All forms and money are due Wednesday, August 28th! Forms went home with students last week.
If you have any questions please let us know.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for Color Run!!!
BERNIE'S BOOK BANK
Bernie’s Book Bank sources, processes and distributes quality children’s books to significantly increase book ownership among at-risk infants, toddlers and school-age children throughout Chicagoland. The project works to encourage a love of reading with access to quality books for all children. WHY? "We believe that books and reading are both the vehicle and the road to a better life".
Every student at Olson received a bright green bags of books on Friday. These are books to read, keep, share, or pass along to other readers. This wonderful project is a great kick off for our 40 BOOK CHALLENGE!
40 BOOK CHALLENGE
Our goal for this challenge is to promote a love of reading, to instill the habit of reading, and to expose our students to a variety of books and genres. We know that reading skills develop as students practice reading.
