READ-A-THON

Forms were sent out to students last week, so please look over them carefully.

The read-a-thon started on Monday, Feb 6, and will end on Monday, Feb 20th. Please make sure students are tracking their minutes read, and you are signing the reading log to verify those minutes read. We want to keep it fair for everyone participating.

This is a great fundraiser for our library, and will help bring in new, exciting books in for the kids to read.

Sponsor sheets and reading logs are attached to the forms.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at tracy.scoggins@eics.ab.ca

Thank you for your continuous support and encouragement for your child's love of reading.

~ Mrs. Scoggins
