Read-A-Thon
Our Read-a-Thon has been extended until December 1. This will give the children time to read while on Thanksgiving Break and explain to family members that they are reading to raise money for their school.
The Read-a-Thon replaced the Write-a-Check Campaign run by PTA the past couple of years. The money your children raise will go towards online subscriptions, the science lab, library, events, music and technology.
If you need assistance activating your child's fundraising page, please contact Bridget at bbf1973@gmail.com
