FREEDOM HILL PTA EAGLE NEWS
March 18, 2022
Great work on Read-a-thon everyone! Stay tuned for additional events through out March as we spring forward. Today is the LAST DAY to get your child's Read-a-thon Bucks used on prizes so be sure to put those orders in!
READ-A-THON SUCCESS!
Thank you all for a great Read-a-thon!  We read over 300,000 minutes and raised over $12,000
Be sure your child spends ALL their Read-a-thon Bucks and shop for their prizes by TODAY, Friday, March 18th!
  • Congratulations to the students in Ms.Bliss's class! They read the most minutes (30,379!) and win the "Dr. Z is your substitute for the day" prize.
  • Most classrooms met their Read-a-thon goal, and celebrated this week with a Teacher's choice reward (PJ day, movie, etc.)
  • Later this year students will celebrate meeting our school wide goal by watching the Principals get water balloons thrown at them during recess!
Reminder:  Students can still accept donations and should spend their prize money by today, March 18.
