Title Let's Read; Dear Parents and Guardians, We’re excited to announce our Riverbend Read-A-Thon Fundraiser — it’s easy, fun, and a great way to get students excited about reading while supporting our school!  📅 When Sponsor/Donation: October 27th - November 7th  Reading Week: November 3rd – 7th   📖 How It Works K–1 Students: Your child will set a goal for the number of books they plan to read during the week. Reading at school and at home both count! Grades 2–5: Your child will set a goal for the number of minutes they plan to read each week. Students will have at least 100 minutes of reading time built into the school day.  🏠 What We Ask of You Please help your child keep a daily reading log for their books and/or reading time at home. Send the log back to school each day — teachers will track each student’s progress throughout the week.  💰 Fundraising Made Simple Instead of pledging per book or per minute, families and friends can make a flat donation — simple and easy!  All donations can be recorded on the sponsor sheet. Cash and checks are accepted. (see the student handbook regarding checks) Checks should be made payable to Riverbend Elementary School. The donation period runs from October 27th – November 7th.  🎁 Prizes & Incentives Students who meet their reading goals will earn a mystery prize from the prize box and a bookmark! The class that raises the most funds will win a pizza party and a field trip to the Waynesville Rec Center for a fun swimming day!  🌟 Our Goal We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to upgrade the back playground structure. If each student raises just $50, we’ll hit our goal together! Thank you for supporting our students and making Riverbend such a wonderful place to learn and grow. Let’s make this a great week of reading and fun!

Please reach out to Your Child’s teacher for extra Sponsor Sheets!

Riverbend students and staff are so excited to Celebrate Reading
