PUMA PRESS – PTA News & Information: October 22, 2025


Read-A-Thon Information

As a school, we have read over 45,000 minutes & raised $9,770. Great job, Pumas! Let’s try to get to $10,000 by the end of the week! There’s still time to remind your friends & families to help support our school by donating to this fundraiser. With your continued support, we are able to:

  • fund field trip transportation
  • host a school-wide assembly
  • support teachers

If we reach our goal of $15,000, we get to watch our amazing teachers race around the track in hilarious inflatable costumes! Also, we have prizes for classes with the most donations & most minutes read.

  • Class with the most minutes read - treat bag for each student
  • Class with the most donations - pizza party
