It's time to start reading for our FIRST MAJOR FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR! Starting this Monday, your student should begin logging their minutes spent reading for the Enatai Read-A-Thon! All the information you need to participate in our Read-A-Thon can be found in this PDF Packet, or on our Read-A-Thon Page. If you are gathering donations from friends and family, simply email them this link:
http://enataiptsa.org/Packet/ReadAThonGuest/They will be able to make an online donation without creating an account at enataiptsa.org, and they can tag it to your student by typing the student's name in the box. Although they won't have to create a website account, it will prompt them to enter their name and email address. This is so that if Sarah or Kerry have questions for them, or their donation did not get tagged to a student, we can email them and sort it out.
If you are donating as a parent, you can make a Read-A-Thon donation by clicking this link, which will allow you to select your student from a drop-down menu. (You can donate as a guest, too, but doing it under your account is better/easier. :))
You can find out more about PTSA Fundraising on our Fundraising 101 Info Page. Questions? Email chairs Sarah Bryan or Kerry Hill.
