FUNDRAISING

How can people donate?
Find your personal fundraising page at 99pledges.com/fund/lwe26 by searching for your student’s first name. Share your page with friends and family by email, text or social media! Donations can be made as a flat amount OR pledged per minute read — just $0.10 per minute will help us reach our goal!

Can I make donations by cash or check?
Yes! Use the attached log to keep track and turn it in to your teacher.

Who should I make the checks payable to?
LWE PTO.

What is the money used for?
Field trips, class parties, school celebrations, equipment, and supplies, fun events like Movie Night, the Spring Carnival and more! 

Are donations tax deductible?
They sure are! LWE PTO is a 501(c) non-profit organization. Donors will receive a receipt upon online donation. If you need a receipt for cash or check donation, please let us know on your log or email lwepto.info@gmail.com.

READING

How do I log my reading?
Use the attached reading log. Make sure to have your Grown Up Reading Witness sign your log, then turn it in to your teacher. Keep reading and filling up more logs until Friday, October 16!

What’s the Wall of Fame?
Top readers will be listed on the Lynnwood Read-a-Thon Wall of Fame and win prizes!

Do I read at home or at school? What if I can’t read yet?
Read anywhere — at home, at school, or wherever you like! You can read on your own, read with a grown-up, or have a grown-up read to you. Just be sure to have your Grown Up Reading Witness sign your log. Ask your teacher how to record any reading minutes completed in class. 

Can I have more reading logs?
Yes! Keep one at school and one at home! Your classroom teacher will have more logs if you run out.
