READ A THON: We are at $15,640 of a $25K Goal! Ends Friday
Top Grade participation is 2nd Grade and the classroom with top participation currently is Ms. Richardson. Congrats Celine S and Madelynn L for being the top fundraisers so far for lower and upper grades, but the final winners will be announced at the end of the Read-a-thon.
Keep track of your reading minutes from October 28 thru November 15.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Go to https://tinyurl.com/EdisonRead-a-Thon2024
Step 2: Search your name to find your individual fundraising link. Share your link with your family and friends to collect donations and per minute pledges!
Step 3: Track the minutes you read from October 28th to November 15th. Turn in the tracking form by November 19th, or submit it online at: https://tinyurl.com/EdisonRead-a-thonTracking2024

If our School Fundraising Goal of $25,000 is reached, then Mrs. Okazaki and Mr. Choi will dress in inflatable costumes and perform the Macarena for our school along with other teachers and volunteers. If we have 100% participation that means everyone must have at least one donation, Kona Ice Truck will come to our school.
