PTO Tuesday Update for Read Books to Raise Bucks

To wrap up our Read Books 2 Raise Bucks fundraiser, LCE will have a READ IN on Friday, September 8. All students are invited to wear their pajamas to school and enjoy a "Read In" in their classrooms. The goal is to give students time to complete any reading goals that they set for themselves during the fundraiser. Your teacher will communicate details with students this week.

We are more than half way to our $50,000 goal. Thank You!

The money raised will be spent in the following ways:

  • 5% goes towards campus wide Service Learning Projects
  • 20% goes to the teachers for classroom use
  • 25% goes towards off-setting the cost of field studies
  • 50% goes towards fulfilling school wide needs such as equipment, supplies, continued education and PTO functions

We will announce the results of our Weekend Challenge on the school's morning show on Wednesday.

Additionally, any students who met the Weekend Challenge goal of getting a NEW $25 donation over the weekend will receive their free Cici's kids buffet coupon in class on Wednesday.
