Read-A-Thon Recap
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN OUR AMAZING READ-A-THON! We were blown away when all of our students participated in the program and the school collectively read for 84,272 minutes from March 1-12!!! Thanks to a few additional donations, including an additional corporate sponsorship from Framatome, we have now raised over $15,000 and look forward to presenting the final numbers at our next PTO meeting on April 12.
All virtual students have a 7-11 Slurpee coupon prize to be picked at the school office.
If you missed the News & Advance article, the Read-A-Thon celebration and Mrs. Steele’s “cheesy” costume was on the FRONT PAGE on Thursday, March 18! Here is the link:
