A Rocket Read-a-Thon packet has been sent home with each student with detailed information.

Students may start collecting pledges on Wednesday, September 5th. Friends and family can sponsor a child’s reading as a “flat rate” pledge. Reading will officially begin on Friday, September 7th. Students will set a reading goal and have 11 days to read towards their goal. Reading logs and pledge money are due Tuesday, September 18^th. Prizes will be awarded for participation, fundraising efforts, and minutes read. The student that has collected the most pledge money will receive a $100 brick paver with their name on it to be placed on the WWII Memorial in front of our school. Special thanks to the NAMFG for the donation for the prize.
