Read-A-Thon A Huge Success!
Way to Go Chester Readers!
The students of Chester have done it again!
The 2015 Ed Foundation Read–A-Thon was another huge success! We celebrate our young readers who together logged 176,727minutes, adding more than 61,000 minutes from last year! We thank the parents, friends, principals, and teachers who supported the students and their efforts to raise more than $11,000! This fundraising effort will continue to provide funding for grants, purchases of technology to support innovative classroom learning programs, new school clubs, and more!
