Dear
Parents and Students,
By now, all students in
Pre-k through 4th grade should have received their Summer
Read-a-thon packets in their school mailboxes. Please take a moment to read the instructions inside
and consider signing up to participate.
The Summer Read-a-thon is an
annual fundraiser for our school, which in years past has raised between $2,800
and $5,000! It’s fun and easy, and an
excellent way to encourage students to continue reading during the summer and
help the school at the same time. (It is
much like a walk-a-thon, but instead of walking, they’re reading books!) Please note this is for every type of reader –
from beginner to experienced. Stories
that are read to your child can be counted. So, even the youngest student can participate.
During the summer, all
registered participants will receive a letter of encouragement, with a prize, and
in the fall, when they bring in their reading logs and collected donations,
they will be given a Read-a-thon t-shirt as a thank you gift from the PTA.
Please fill out the
registration form included in your Summer Read-a-thon packet (green page) and
put it in the envelope hanging outside your child’s classroom door. Registration
forms must be handed in by Friday, June 18th.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to email me at: jdm@masseyart.com
or call: (917) 575-5989.
Thank you in advance for
participating and enjoy the last few weeks of school!
Sincerely,
Julia Massey
(Jonathan’s mom)
