Questions/feedback? mayamissaghi@gmail.com and eric@esinc.mn
Read-a-thon Alex Kotze: The readathon is from October 1-28. The opening ceremony is September 28 and we will have a magician there! The theme this year is The Magic Of Reading. The current 5th graders designed the artwork. Look for packets to come home at the end of September. Our goal is to have the kids read 500,000 minutes and raise $25k so start thinking about asking friends and family for donations!
Sock Hop/Family Volunteer Service: Information: The Family Volunteer Service Committee engages the Horace Mann Community in service learning projects that benefit our greater community. Examples include the Sock Hop and Family Volunteer Service Night We are always looking for other ways to engage Horace Mann families in projects that benefit both the recipient and the giver and build connections in St. Paul and beyond. Our first event is the Sock Hop on October 4 in conjunction with the building open house. We will be collecting new socks and gently used shoes and boots for Project Reach, a SPPS program benefiting families in housing transitions. . Requests/Input: Planning for the rest of the year will happen in early November watch Perspectives or email Terri Shefelbine terrias@usgo.net, to be notified directly.
