Reading Incentive Program

The students here at LLA are all encouraged to read or be read to every day for 20 minutes. The PTO would like to chart those minutes and issue the challenge to get to 500,000 minutes, as a school, by April 30, 2014. The reward for reaching the goal?

Skate Night at Classic Fun Center!

Students will be recognized with their photo on the wall for individual milestones. Also, watch out for surprises and rewards throughout the challenge for reaching school-wide milestones.

Choose from these options to report minutes read:

• Use a star reading chart (example pictured below). One copy will be sent home with each student the week of November 4^th. A few extras will be available in each classroom. In addition, you will find a link to the chart on the PTO blog, so you can print it out as needed. Students can bring completed charts to their homerooms, where teachers will have a spot to collect them.

OR

• Send an e-mail to LLAReading1@gmail.com that includes the student’s name and number of minutes read. This can be done on a weekly or monthly basis.

Minutes will be counted and recorded every Friday. Look for the plane flying through the school marking our students’ progress as they FLY AHEAD WITH READING!

Box Tops, Tyson Products, Coke Rewards, Labels for Education, Recycling

Parents, our collections program is officially up and running. Our school collects Box Tops, Labels for education, My Coke Rewards and Tyson project A+.   All of these can be given to your child's home room teacher at any time.  Each homeroom teacher has a collection bin in their classroom.  If we aren't doing a contest then simply place all your donations in a baggy with your child's name on the outside and give to your homeroom teacher.  They will periodically be collected and children the turn in donations will get to chose a prize from the treasure chest.  But they have to have their name on the bag or back of the label or box top, etc or we won't know what child to give the prize to.  

**There is a current BOX TOP contest going on RIGHT NOW in the kids' classrooms through 10/25 and you will see more info on that this week.  But you can start sending them in now!**

Here is a link to the websites we collect:

Volunteer Software is NOW ready!

The VOLUNTEER software to check-in /out is now up & running at the school!  Its SO easy to use!  If you want to record your hours at home, you can use this link: 

www.helpcounterweb.com/homeaccess?aid=gohbrnmngi

The first time you login, either at the school or at home, you will need to add your information - name, email, phone #.  This software is also great because you can sign up for committees, request to volunteer, view requests from the PTO, and get updates on your volunteer hours so you can get to your 30 hours/year per family.  

When you login at home for the first time, you will need to request a password using the email address you already provided when initially adding your information.  Then your password will be emailed to you.  Again, you can add your name/info starting with the home access link - its the "click here" link under the "Not yet in the system" heading.  

Thanks everyone!  Remember that we are new to this software as well so there may be some kinks initially, but we will work through them together!  Go Flyers!
