Principal's Message
Thomas families,
Today kicks off the Thomas Elementary Read-a-Thon!
This is our only fundraiser of the year, and we’re counting on your support to help us reach our goals.
Starting today, students will have three weeks to collect donations to sponsor them as readers. There’s no required amount of reading; we just encourage everyone to dive into their favorite books and seek generous sponsors! Information on how to register and donate will come home with your child today.
To make it even more fun, we have planned exciting events and celebrations throughout the Read-a-Thon. Your participation will help raise funds for our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), which supports vital programs and activities for our students and teachers throughout the year.
Let’s come together to foster a love of reading while supporting our school! Thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm.
Happy reading!
Melissa Garris
