READ-A-THON WEEK 3: 🦉 133,148 Minutes! Two Weeks Left in the Clinton Read-A-Thon

Since we kicked off on February 2, our students have been absolute powerhouses! We are approaching the halfway mark of our Annual Read-A-Thon, and our Clinton Bears are logging minutes, crushing goals, and building their "owlvatars" with incredible speed.

Check out our progress as of Sunday night:

• Reading: 133,148 minutes logged toward our 200,000-minute goal! 📖
• Fundraising: $10,699 raised toward our $20,000 goal! 💰 (All funds raised go directly to the PTA to support our school community through enrichment programs, events, and resources.)

📅 This Wednesday: Pajama Day & The Clinton Read-In!

Because our readers soared past the 100K milestone, it’s time to celebrate in comfort.

Wednesday, February 18: School-Wide Pajama Day! Students are invited to wear their favorite PJs and fuzzy socks to school to celebrate their hard work.

The Celebration Continues: Clinton Read-In Join us Wednesday night (Feb 18) from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM in the Cafeteria and Library.

2. Parents: Donate and invite sponsors! Remember, both donations AND sponsor invites trigger Wisdom Coins for your child.
