SCS Read-a-Thon
Information about the Read-a-Thon Fundraiser for the Shelbyville Central Schools reading committee was sent home with students in December. The funds that are raised, will be used to purchase books for the various reading initiative during the year such as the Holiday Parade, "We Love to Read" Week, and other events to help foster a love of reading with our students. We appreciate your support for this district-wide fundraiser!
