READ-A-THON March 2- March 17
If you saw Mrs. Mommer walking around campus in her bathrobe last week, it wasn’t because she was running late for school- it was the official kick-off of our 2023 READ-A-THON!!!
Now through March 17th, we’ll be doing reading-centric activities at school and encouraging kids to read, read, read at home!
The Read-A-Thon allows kids to embrace reading, win PRIZES AND raise money for our PTA! Win, win, win!
EMBRACE READING: Each student should have received a Read-A-Thon reading log. In the log, keep track of how many minutes each day your child reads through March 17th.
WIN PRIZES- On March 17, calculate the total and submit it here (the first 500 students to submit win a Baskin Robbins ice cream cone!).
RAISE MONEY- Students should share their reading goals with friends and family so they can make donations to the Stocklmeir PTA! (Be sure they include the student’s name and classroom number when they donate, so your child gets the credit!) Raising money also means prizes! Students can win a Stocklmeir hoodie and other great stuff! This is the PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year- we hope to fund our Arts and Music programs, along with many other initiatives, with the money we raise. This year our Read-A-Thon goal is $20,000! Any questions, please email Readathon@stocklmeirpta.org
**Please note that if a child is not registered in Konstella, their donations are not being credited to their classroom. Register your child here. (Classrooms #1, #15, #20, #34 and #35, kids S.C., P.Y., S.M., N.W, D.W aren’t registered, so the classes aren’t getting credit!
If you use this link you can see how much each classroom has raised. You need a Konstella account with your child linked to their classroom for their donations to make this list. https://www.konstella.com/app/school/5eee6cb40cda7ccc15af472c/donations/63fb4864cf380bc7e2367fad
