Read to Feed Starts Today!

Our Grade One Fundraiser Starts Today. It will go for two weeks, ending on November 21st. Please see the large envelope that went home in your child's backpack today for all the details. We have a grade-wide goal of raising $500 for the purchase of one heifer. Who knows, we might even surpass this goal! Please sponsor your child and help your child start finding other sponsors today. Every child is asked to find ten sponsors to each make a donation of one rial or more. For each sponsor, students pledge to read one Just Right book to their family at home. You can read more about this great program Read to Feed on the Heifer Organization website. The details of what your child should do are glued to the outside of the envelope that was sent home today. To summarize in brief...

1. Find Sponsor (Students will give each sponsor an information bookmark from inside the envelope and have the sponsor write their name on the Read to Feed log) 
2. Collect Money Right Away (Record how much on log and put money in envelope.) 
3. Read and Record on Log at home. Students will be doing this INSTEAD of their normal reading logs for the next two weeks. The large envelope should stay at home, please, so students are not carrying cash back and forth to school. They will simply bring their reading book back in their folders every day and swap it for a new one each morning, then write down the book title on their Read to Feed log at home.

 *If your child finds many sponsors in one day, that is great! He or she can read additional books from home or wait to choose additional books from school.

Thank you for helping your child turn the power of reading into the power of feeding!
