downloadWe are planning on doing a read-a-thon on the 20th of February with the whole school. We will take an hour during classroom time to have our class read. They will get pledges for reading from friends and family. Those pledges will be put in the locked box that was used for the baskets. Thanks for your help with this fundraiser!
