Scholastic Reading Initiative Fundraiser

Help us support student literacy! We are excited to announce a new fundraiser for our school that aims to provide our students with a wide selection of Scholastic magazines for Carson Kids Read, our weekly independent reading time during Panther Time. As an educational institution, we believe in the importance of fostering a love for reading and ensuring that our students are well-informed about the world around them. That is why we are partnering with Scholastic to offer a variety of engaging and informative magazines that cover a range of topics, such as science, technology, history, art, health, and current events. With these magazines, students will have the opportunity to explore and learn in an enjoyable and accessible way.

By contributing to our fundraiser, you will not only be providing our students with invaluable reading materials, but you will also be fostering their curiosity, critical thinking skills, and global awareness. With your support, we can ensure that our classrooms are stocked with a wide selection of magazines that cater to the diverse interests and reading levels of our students. Together, let us empower our students to become avid readers and well-informed global citizens.

Sincerely, 

RCMS Teachers, Kelli McCoy-Williams and Allison Crutcher
