Body:
Dear Parents,
 
The Spell-a-Thon challenge is upon us! This is a fantastic way for the whole community to get involved in fundraising for our enrichment programs.  The students have a chance to shine as they master their word lists while earning money for their school.   Together we raised over $7000 last year!  This year let’s shoot for over $8000!!  
*Spell-a-Thon packets go home in the Harding folders, Wed. Feb. 15th.
 
Included in your packet:
1.    Your child’s grade level spelling list: You will have over three weeks to prepare. Have fun playing spelling games!
 
2.     Pledge sheet and collection envelope: Parents and students are asked to support the Spell-a-thon by soliciting and collecting monetary pledges.  Parental support ensures financial success and safety for students. Please do not go door-to-door to solicit pledges. Pledges can be for each correct word or a flat pledge for participation. 
 
Suggestions to achieve pledges:   
1.    Pledge something yourself.
2.   Students can ask family members, friends, and neighbors.
3.   Sponsor your child’s class.
4.   Parents can bring pledge sheets to work.

March 1 - 9:……………………. Return pledge sheets/envelopes to school
March 13, 14 & 15: Spelling tests given in class
