THANK YOU so much to those who have been logging into funrun.com! Our class set several goals that we have met. I am pleased to announce that they students do not have any spelling or math homework this week. They should still read each night for at least 15 minutes. The students are very excited about this reward! Thanks for all of your support with our school wide fundraiser!!!

Boosterthon Update
Parents,
Thank you for your support of this year’s Boosterthon Fun Run! We are almost halfway through the program and the Boosterthon Fun Run is quickly approaching. So far as a team, we are up to $ 21 per lap. Our goal is $50 per lap.
The students are having a blast learning about MAKING GOOD CHOICES through the HIGHWAY USA theme! So far this week, we learned about how important it is to CHOOSE LEADERSHIP by being bold, setting a good example, and strengthening others with our words. Our class was also challenged to CHOOSE CHARACTER by making the right choice, even when no one is looking.
I hope that you are logging-on to funrun.com every night with your students and watching the Highway USA music videos, as well as getting pledges to help our school.
This weekend is a special challenge—the “Weekend Challenge.” Any student that gets $3 per lap OR $90 flat donation over the weekend, will receive the bonus Glow in the Dark Water Bottle reward on Monday. The students are super excited to rise to the challenge! Students can get pledges of ANY amount to add up to $3 per lap or $90 donated to receive the bonus prize.
Get creative! Aunts, Uncles, neighbors, friends from work or church, Facebook, and local businesses!
Thanks again for your help and support of our class! Let’s work together to finish strong and reach our goal as a team! I’ll see you at our Boosterthon Fun Run next Thursday.
Have a great weekend!
