MS Read-a-thon




Dear Parents,

Today was our "kick-off" assembly for the MS Read-a-thon. Students are asked to set a goal of how many minutes they would like to read between now and February 16th (both in school and at home) in an attempt to raise money for MS, and for research into a cure. As with the "skate for skip", the students are NOT being asked to go door to door, but rather are directed to ask for pledges from family members, and friends of the family. This read-a-thon links nicely with our "Raptors Read to Achieve" program, as the students are finding that they are able to do "double duty" but reaching two goals with one attempt.

Please feel free to contact me at the school if you have any further questions regarding this program. Together we can make a difference in the lives of others! Mr. Anderson.
