Non-fiction Read A Thon Update

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Non-fiction Read-A-Thon. We raised more than $400. Yesterday our biggest fundraiser Steven traveled with students from Mrs. Vogel and Mrs. Sheffer's class to purchase some books for our classroom library. Steven purchased ten non-fiction titles on subjects including WWII, the Titanic, and several biographies. We then enjoyed cheese cake at Starbucks! After break all students who participated will choose books for our library online from Scholastic.
