Those Clinton kids can read!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our 2009-2010 PTA Readathon. Thanks to your efforts we were able to raise $1,800, all of which will be used to purchase new books for the much loved Clinton School Library.

And congratulations to the three winners of our Readathon raffle, who won gift cards to Words Bookstore in Maplewood: kindergartener Zachary J., 1st Grader Lilly B., and 3rd grader Josh R.

The hundreds of books purchased with the proceeds from last year’s Readathon have been circulating since the autumn, and each one includes a sticker thanking Readathon participants.

As always, we are grateful for your support.

Clinton’s permanent substitute librarian, Ms. Jennifer Latimer, has started a new book blog! She will be sharing books that she loves and that the students of Clinton love and other fun information. Check it out!

We have added a link to her blog in the right-hand sidebar.

Time to collect

Posted March 5th, 2010 by PTANews

The 2nd Annual Clinton School Readathon came to close on Tuesday, March 2.

We hope your child enjoyed the reading challenge.

You can now collect money from the sponsors who pledged and return payments, pledge sheet, and reading log to the Clinton PTA.
Don’t worry if you haven’t kept good track on the reading log, as long as you can give your sponsors the information they need to send payment.

Please be sure any checks are made out to the Clinton PTA and have a phone number on them.

Everyone who returns a pledge form (whether they collected money or not) will be entered in our raffle to win one of three gift certificates to a local bookstore. The raffle winners will be announced on Monday, March 22nd during morning announcements.

Please return pledge forms and check by Tuesday, March 16th.

Thanks for participating. Last year’s Readathon enabled us to purchase more than $2,500 worth of new books for our library. We’ll keep you posted on this year’s results.
