Teachers-We have some exciting things starting next week. We have Adopt-a-Family kicking off and we are also gearing up for our service-learning project, which will be to support Cystic Fibrosis research in support of a Concord student, Luke Price, in 1st grade.

Next week, on the three days we will be here, we will be having a different "a-thon" theme day to lead up to a kick-a-thon that is happening at Concord on Saturday. The kick-a-thon is not a school-related event, but all proceeds are going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and it is in Luke's honor so we wanted to help contribute. On each "a-thon" day, kids are encouraged to bring in $1 and participate.

Wednesday: Read-A-Thon

We are asking students to bring a favorite book and $1.

Thursday: PJ-A-Thon

We are asking students to bring $1 and wear PJs.

Friday: Block-A-Thon

We are asking students to bring $1 and during block, they will get to choose if they want to attend art, music, or pe.

Two fliers are stapled together and should go home today. Students can choose to collect donations for the kick-a-thon if they want as well.

Luke's parents and the foundation have a great website. There is a video about the kick-a-thon that you are free to show your students as well. It can be found at www.lukeshope.com

Thank you for talking this up with your students and encouraging them throughout the week to participate.
