The PTO’s Pick A Reading Partner (P.A.R.P.) program begins Tuesday, October 12! Families should find at least twenty minutes to read each night, but every minute counts! Your child can read any materials you have at home independently or together. Log your reading for a chance to win a prize for yourself or your class!

•  One participant will be selected from each classroom to receive a $10 gift card for Five Below. Turn in your reading log to be entered into the drawing!

•  The classroom in each grade with the most minutes will earn extra recess time. Log those minutes!

Keep an eye out in your student’s backpack for the tracking log this week!
