Our fundraiser this year is a READ-A-THON! Students can collect pledges per minute, or a flat pledge is also great. Each week there is a different BINGO sheet to fill out and turn in the following Monday to earn prizes.
Here are the papers that are going home with students.
1) BINGO sheets are for recording minutes and adding some fun and diversity this month in their reading. They will be returned each Monday (except weeks 2&3 are combined due to the fall break). Prizes will be awarded to classes and individuals based on these sheets—so they must be turned in Monday mornings to our box outside of the front office.
2) Students are being provided a “book spine” to fill out and/or decorate each time they finish a book. The first one is attached to their pledge packet, and teachers will be given more to pass out as students need them. These can be turned into the box outside the front office and these will be added to our bookshelf bulletin board in the cafeteria hallway to showcase all the books we've read as a school.
3) Prize posters will be posted, but basically, students can earn prizes for: turning in their BINGO sheets, getting a BINGO, getting a Blackout, reading the most minutes per grade or per class, etc. If Silver Mesa Students collectively read 350,000 minutes between now and Nov. 2nd, we will host a pie-throwing party with (at) the teachers. For earning the most money, students can earn a trip to a socially-distant movie experience and/or Principal for a Day! If we earn our goal of $10,000, Ms. Fielding will dye her hair BLUE!
