Thank you to everyone that made purchases during our Virtual Book Fair. We had almost $4,000 in sales which will result in ~$1,000 in rewards to purchase new books for our library! If you purchased a book from your teacher's wish list, once it is delivered be sure to drop it off at the classroom during your next drop-off day. We will have another book fair in the Spring to give everyone an opportunity to purchase books leading into the summer and encourage summer reading! More info to come next year. * * * * * Read-a-Thon envelopes went home, and 99pledges links have been sent so pitch a tent in your backyard, grab those flashlights, and “Camp Out With A Good Book”! Remember this year’s Read-A-Thon runs Nov. 18th – Dec. 2nd and is an exciting fundraiser that challenges students to use their most important academic skill, READING, to directly support our school. The money raised goes to sustain our PFC-funded initiatives such as reading and math specialists, science aides, and our STEM instructor. If you have questions please email readathon@walnutacrespfc.net. For more information click HERE. * * * * *
Our annual Toy Drive benefits Shore Acres Elementary. We will be accepting donations of gently used toys and books ONLY (no clothing due to Covid) November 30 - December 4 in front of the school office.
