Odyssey's Read-a-thon

Blast Off Into Reading!!

From Monday, October 17^th through Friday, October 28^th, all Odyssey students are encouraged to read an additional 15 minutes each night and get sponsors to help us raise funds for our school!

Our goal is to have students read (or be read to) an additional 15 minutes each day for the 12 days of the Read-A-Thon. Students ask for sponsorships for their reading and get pledged for every day they read or a flat donation for the whole event.

This week’s Thursday Packet will contain all the information you need to know including pledge sheets, reading logs, and an informational flyer too. If you need additional materials, you can get them online at: http://www.odysseycharterschool.org/Read_A_Thon.cfm

Our Goal is to have each student raise just $15!!
If all our students meet this goal, we will raise nearly $6,000!!

Help us meet this goal!

On Monday, October 17^th at 8:30am, we will host a Read-A-Thon Kick Off on the North Field where students will get excited for reading and launch balloon rockets as they Blast Off Into Reading! Come and join the fun!!

This is a new fundraiser for our school, and EVERYONE’S participation is needed to make it successful.

Volunteers are needed to help decorate the campus, and place posters for the event on Friday, October 14th. If you’re available to help, please contact Rebecca Mercado at elirebecca@aol.com or (310) 869-7283.
