SPS Read-A-Thon to Start Today!!
What?
In order to celebrate Read Across America Week (2020), St. Peter will be holding its first ever Read-A-Thon from Monday, March 2 through Monday, March 16th. Students will have the opportunity to log minutes of reading at home and in school to win various prizes- individually and has a class! This activity is also a small scale fundraiser for our school!

This is an ideal time to do this, as students will have the opportunity to read books in between their Iowa exams, or if they should finish a test early. Students are welcome to bring a book into school to read!
Where?
This will be done chiefly at St. Peter School, but students can also (hopefully) participate by logging reading minutes at home and by spreading word among family members, friends, and neighbors about our Read-A-Thon. Last, each student will have their own unique web portal in which they can log their own minutes of reading, as well as direct family members and friends to sponsor them for the Read-A-Thon!

Your child will be given two flyers (one today, another tomorrow) with instructions on how to unlock their own portal for donations and to log their minutes.
When?
The Read-A-Thon will last from Monday, March 2 through Monday March 16th.
The Goal and Purpose of this Drive
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $5 per student, but sponsors are encouraged to donate any amount that they would like to support to the students and our school. With respect to our goals, we are looking to use this fundraiser to secure new water fountains and add on top of our yearly budgetary allocation for classroom renovations (new desks, chairs, windows, shades, lighting, etc).

The Prizes:

1) All students who register on their portal will receive a dress down pass to be used starting next week

2) Individual students who log 200 minutes/week will receive an additional dress down pass and recognition from the principal.

3) Individual Students who raise $100 will receive a pizza party with the principal

4) Top fundraising individual will have lunch with the principal

5) Top three classes which have a) 100% participation and sponsorship b) largest amount of donations will each have their own separate class pizza parties and ice cream.

6) Mystery prize for any class that gets 100% participation, is the top class in donations, and exceeds $1000 in donations as a class.
