The SMPO is excited to announce a new, fun event to raise funds for the school:  The Sands Read-a-Thon!

This fundraiser has been wildly successful at other schools while also getting little scholars excited about reading.

The best part: 100% of money raised will be used at our school for the kids.

Students start collecting pledges on Friday, January 29. Friends and family can sponsor your child’s reading either as a “flat rate” or “per minute.”

Reading officially begins on Friday, February 5. Students have 15 days to read as many minutes as they can. Prizes will be awarded for fundraising efforts as well as minutes read.

For ALL the details, including rules, forms and PRIZES, go to the Read-a-Thon page.
