During the first two weeks in February, the Travell Action Club will be holding a change drive to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. Every day we will be tallying up the amount. Our goal is to raise $1,000. We are encouraging students to “earn” the change by doing chores around the house; emptying the dishwasher, making their beds, or walking the dog.

Many thanks to the Home and School Association for sponsoring a visit from "Ben Franklin."  Dr. Franklin shared stories from his life with our second graders who are learning about influential Americans, democracy, and American symbols.

                           

Cynthia Defelice, a K-5 award-winning author and storyteller, will spend the day with us. She will meet with all classes and autograph pre-ordered books.  The deadline for ordering is Wed, Feb. 10th.

You should have received a backpacked flyer to record the books that you read at home. All studnets returning your recording sheet will receive a free ice cream coupon from Ben & Jerry’s. Happy Reading! 

The Reading Marathon is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Ridgewood Public Library. The funds are used to support the children’s’ programs at the Ridgewood Public Library. Donations are NOT required in order to participate!
