Best Reading Party Ever

Help me give my students the best reading celebration they have ever had!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Risi's classroom raised $251

My Project

We all have those school experiences that we never forget; the ones that we still smile when we think about and that made a lasting impression. My goal is to give students one of these moments by throwing a party, complete with popcorn and cotton candy, that celebrates students who successfully completed our school's first ever Fall Reading Challenge.

Help me give my students the most fun celebration of reading they've ever had!

This fall, students have been invited to participate in a Fall Reading Challenge. With only 4 weeks, they've been asked to read at least 4 books in 4 different genres. Students are excited about the challenge and are pushing their limits to read outside of their comfort zones. Students who complete the challenge will be invited to a special celebration, where we will share yummy treats (thanks to your donations!), talk about our reading, and continue to grow a culture of joy around Literacy.

Your donation will bring so much joy to students and help make this an experience they never forget.
