Week 3 is Here – Let’s Read and Raise Together!
Our school reading challenge is in full swing, and we’ve already logged an incredible 5,497 minutes of reading! This week, we’re aiming for BIGGER wins—both in reading and fundraising.
Your support matters! Every minute your child reads and every dollar raised helps us build a stronger community of readers and reach our school goals.
📚 Keep encouraging your child to read daily and share our campaign with family and friends. Together, we can make this week the best yet!
Dear Parents,
Please note that there will be no school on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28. We hope you enjoy the long weekend, and we look forward to seeing your children back on Monday, December 1.
