SLP Read$ Fall Reading Challenge is coming next week!
Our major PTO fundraiser is happening soon! Students can join the Fall Reading Challenge by filling out a bingo card that shows fun ways to read. Whether reading on their own, being read to by a parent, sibling, or friend, reading outside, out loud, or in their pajamas, the goal is for all students to read 20 minutes a day, and have fun doing it!
Fun Mr. Pollock challenges will be shared to add to the reading excitement and donation collection!
We are asking for donations of $100 per student, however any amount, more or less, is welcome. This money is used to fund the Schoolyard Garden, field trips and in-house learning experiences, yearbooks for every student, teacher appreciation, and more. Our school-wide goal is to raise $30,000. Please be sure to ask friends and family to make a contribution which can be done with cash, check or online and is tax-deductible.
The SLP Read$ Fall Reading Challenge will be happening Monday, October 11 through Wednesday, October 20. Be on the lookout for bingo cards and donation envelopes coming home next Monday!

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15.
