The EHSI Reading Marathon Begins Today!
Dear Families,

October is here and Maratón de Lectura, our school’s reading marathon, is underway! Excitement filled our school at the Kick-off Assembly last week where we announced this year’s reading goal of 850,000 minutes (last year’s total was 835,870 minutes). 
We also made a special announcement to let our scholars know we have something fun up our sleeves if they reach this goal. That “something” remains top secret, but we want everyone in on the excitement in the meantime. Each week during Maratón de Lectura, clues will be given as to what will happen if our scholars reach their reading goal. Stay tuned and please share each clue with your children to help us build up the excitement! 
Maratón de Lectura is our PTO’s main fundraiser and every dollar raised directly benefits our students, staff and families. Please help to ensure scholars are reading (or being read to) every day this month and asking sponsors to make a pledge to support their reading efforts and their school.

Track each minute read on the Reading Log included in the yellow information packet that went home last week and turn in completed logs for a chance to win fun prizes! (Every minute is counted, so make sure to turn in partially completed logs as well.) We aim for 100% participation, easily accomplished by doing daily homework.
Classes with 100% participation and those with the highest number of minutes read per grade will be recognized and prize winners will be announced at our Celebration Assembly in November. We are looking forward to meeting our reading goal and letting our scholars in on our top-secret surprise at that time, too! Please click here if you need additional copies of any Maratón de Lectura documents .

We hope you'll take part in our special Spirit Days this month; this Wednesday, Oct. 3rd, is Reading Rainbow Day! Each grade wears a different color:

Kinder = Red
1st = Orange
2nd = Yellow
3rd = Green
4th = Light Blue
5th = Dark Blue
6 th = Purple
