Tomorrow, we start a Reading for Education program to help our elementary school raise money. A lanyard explaining how the program works will be sent home with your student. Parents, please read over the information describing how you can participate. Your student will earn a participation prize when they return the filled-out lanyard to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money. So don't forget to send the filled-out lanyard back to school, and thanks for your support. Here is a link with a short video explaining the program. https://videos.readingforeducation.com/kick-off-video
