Tompkins M.

Rising 3rd

Hello friends and family!

Our beloved La Ballona Elementary School is hosting a read-a-thon this summer to get kids reading and to raise money for our school. Every dollar Tompkins raises will go towards enrichment programs, classroom resources, campus upgrades and more.

"I will read as many minutes as I can this summer. You can participate by making a donation for every minute I read OR by making a flat donation."*

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support!

Love,

Tompkins (and Sarah & Brian)

*Because Tompkins is such an avid reader in English, we're adding an incentive for him to keep up his Spanish over the summer: 1¢ per minute for English reading, 5¢ per minute for Spanish. Feel free to hop on that bandwagon if you're so inclined, and thank you for any support you're able to give!

About this fundraiser:

Every dollar raised through this fundraiser will be used to pay for things our students use every day, like up-to-date technology, learning aids and resources, extracurricular programs and more. Your donation makes a significant impact on the lives of our students, and we are deeply appreciative of your support!

Classrooms can earn prizes for collecting donations:
- Classrooms where 100% of students read at least 100 minutes will earn a pajama day
- The classroom in each grade that reads the most earns a pizza party

AND, if everyone together in the school reads 300,000 minutes - that's just about 10 minutes a day per child - the kids will get ice cream at the end of the first day of school!
