Real Men Read!

Last week was real men read week and we had some special men come into class to read to us.
 Nigel's dad came in and read a book about Sea Turtles- Thanks again Mr. Smith!

We also had Sheriff Rutherford read to us- What an awesome treat!

Boosterthon Results!


WOW! Alimacani is looking at a pledged profit of over $23,000! That is going to put a huge dent in our playground fund. Thank you so much to everyone who pledged and to the kids for working so hard to earn those pledges! Pugh's Patriots came in 2nd place in 1st grade with $61 a lap and a profit of over $2,000!
Presley was our top earner with $855! WOWIE WOW WOW!

 If we can collect 100% by Wednesday, November 28th, 10% of our class profit comes directly back to our classroom for us to use!


Please help your student get in touch with their sponsors. Sponsors can pay three ways—Cash, Check or Credit Card. 
If an e-mail address was entered with the original pledge on www.funrun.com, your sponsor will receive a pledge link to pay directly by credit card if they so choose or they can enter their e-mail at www.funrun.com/payment.  If not, they can mail cash or check to you and you can send it all in at once with your child’s collection envelope. That envelope went home last Friday with a reminder letter highlighting what’s outstanding. You can also log on to www.funrun.com for all the information you may need.
Thanks again for your help and support of our class! Let’s work together to finish strong and reach our goal!

Boosterthon Fun Run!

Yay for Pugh's Patriots! We are in 1st place in 1st grade for pledges and have made it to $55 per lap for the Fun Run tomorrow! The Boosterthon Fun Run program involves all students in a fun, team building, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds. Please make sure your students wear their Boosterthon Shirts and dress for the cooler weather tomorrow.

Tonight is the LAST NIGHT to get pledges so here’s how you can help:
1) LOG-ON to your student’s website at https://www.funrun.com/ using your student’s Pledge Book and access code. Log on to watch the Highway USA music videos, and enter pledge information.

2) GET PLEDGES by connecting your student with sponsors. Be sure to capture and record the e-mail address of each sponsor, as they will have an easy opportunity to pay for your student’s pledge by credit card online.

3) COME TO THE BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN TOMORROW MORNING! Remember, students will be running 25-35 laps and we would love to have lots of support for our team! For tomorrow’s Fun Run times and a video message, go to http://boosterthoninfo.com/alimacani-elementary-school I’ll see you tomorrow at the Boosterthon Fun Run!
