Thank you very much for all your cooperation and assistance
during the read a thon. With this type of fundraiser, we need and
appreciate all your help and encouragement to the students. Please
continue to encourage them to read and record on the read a thon forms
each night and return to school every day in their communication folder.
Maybe a little reminder in their agenda would help too!! A little friendly
competition between classes can go a long way!! We would love to hear
your input at any time to help improve the process. Thanks again so
much for your support!!
