Read Across America week begins February 28th. To celebrate literacy and to raise funds for our end of year activities, we are inviting students to participate in a read-a-thon!
~ The week of February 21st students will ask friends and family to sponsor their commitment to reading. To keep things simple, an exact dollar amount should be pledged. For example, $2.00 for the total week of reading. Please make checks payable to Whitney PTO.
~The week of Feb 28th students will be given a tracking sheet to keep track of the number of minutes read and titles read. All reading counts, whether it is at school or home, if the child is reading independently or being read to. Each reading session must be initialed by parent or teacher.
~The student who reads (or is read to) the most minutes during the week will win a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. Two prizes will be awarded. One for K-3 and 4-6.
~When the week is over, students will add up their total number of minutes read and finish collecting their pledges. Tracking forms and this envelope are due by March 11th.
