Groveport Elementary students had their best Read-a-Thon ever this year! After raising a little over $7,000 last year, they set another ambitious goal of $10,000 again this year.
They didn't just reach it. They blew right past it, raising more than $11,000! A new school record!
The money raised helps provide some pretty great experiences for Groveport Elementary students, including end-of-the-year field trips, author visits, Student of the Month T-shirts, and much more.
Of course, Ms. Bray knew a big goal needed a little extra motivation. She promised that if students surpassed $10,000, the top readers and fundraisers would earn the privilege of putting a pie directly in their principal's face.
They held up their end of the bargain.
So did Ms. Bray.
What you see here is the wonderfully messy chaos that followed. Congratulations to all of our Groveport Elementary readers and fundraisers on an incredible Read-a-Thon, and a big thank you to Ms. Bray for being such a good sport!
More than $11,000 raised, a whole lot of books read, and one very messy principal. Sounds like a pretty successful Read-a-Thon to us!
