The read a thon is where we ask the kids to read books. prek 3 and 4 are asked to either read or be read to 12 books. K's and 1st grader are asked to read 12 books and 2nd and 3rd graders are asked to read 10 chapter books and 4th graders are asked to read 500 pages. Each child is asked to obtain sponsors. Our goal this year was $30 per child or if you had more then one child at the school $20 ea. If they reached their goal they receive a lunchbox with the new school logo on it. We have 144 children. We learned of the total last night. We raised $3,500's all profit from the read-a-thon. We ask people to make the checks payable to the school that way they make it a tax deduction.
The other one is from originial artwork.The kids a picture and then the parents can order the artwork on anything from mousepads, to key chains, magnets to shirts

Our used book sale is a huge success. We sell used books and videos that families donate.
Bingo nights are easy and a lot of fun. Sell a family package - pizza or other food for four, drinks, bingo cards for the night and give away small inexpensive prizes.
