Redfield PTO is launching our largest fundraiser of the year. For updates on the Read-a-thon progress see the overview page HERE. January 29th through February 7th, participants will earn money by asking for sponsorships for their efforts in reading. Participants will get flat donations from family and friends and receive prizes as they hit different metrics. All donations collected before the official start of the Read-a-thon WILL count towards prizes; however, minutes logged for reading before the official start WILL NOT count toward prizes.

Please help us reach our goal of raising $40,000. The majority of this money goes directly to teachers for supplies in their classrooms. The remaining is used to fund the recess program and enables the PTO to throw community events like Ringo and the Trunk or Treat. It also provides grants for things like the scholastic news, community gardens, kindergarten chicks and ducks, 5th grade farewell breakfast and this year adding beautification elements to campus.

If a parent volunteers 2 mornings during our event, their child will qualify for a game truck entry on February 16th. We need parents to help sort and bag prizes from 8:15 to 8:40 as well as pass out stickers and check in with students at each gate during drop off. Sign up HERE.

Log minutes for your child each night on your parent dashboard. For questions email contact@redfieldpto.com.
