The PTA
is excited to announce our Read-a-Thon
Fundraiser! This should be a fun and easy way for students and families to
support Indian Paintbrush Elementary.
Here’s How it
Will Work
The Read-a-Thon will last for two weeks
(February 22-March 8). Each student will track their reading online and will be
able to solicit their family and friends for online donations. Students can
choose their own prizes from the website, based on how much money they earn. As well, the top readers at the school will
be recognized and everyone who activates their webpage will get a prize. 75% of the money earned goes directly to our school, 15% covers prizes, 7% goes to the Read-a-Thon organization, and 3% covers transaction costs. Our goal is to raise $3000. We look forward to your participation as we
raise money and encourage our kids to read!
How To Get
Started
Each
student will bring home an information packet about the Read-a-Thon. The packet will give details
about how to create your student’s online account to track reading and solicit
donations. You will be able to access the account from a computer or mobile
device. If a student does not have internet access at home, they will be able
to activate and access their account at school. If you have questions about the
fundraiser, please contact Sara Pommarane at spommarane@acsd1.org or 307-721-4490.
Why Are We
Doing Another Fundraiser?
The PTA strives every
year to help with school expenses such as class field trips, Teton Science
School, purchasing additional classroom materials (bare books, art supplies),
and supporting school activities (Valentine’s Day treats, Field Day, Family
Night). With rising costs and rising
enrollment at our school, we have found that we need more fundraisers to allow
us to continue to help with these expenses.
