BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN
Sanford Creek PTA is excited to once again host a Sanford Creek Blue Jays Fun Run! We will be raising funds for instructional technology and classroom learning materials! Family and friends anywhere in the world can support our school by giving pledges toward the number of laps your student will run at the Fun Run. Students will learn how to make a difference in their world through the Backyard Box Office theme. They will learn the “FIVE CHARACTER ACTS” from real kids in America who are impacting others in big ways! Boosterthon will be donating 3 meals to a local person in need every time a class reaches $30 per lap! Sanford Creek would like to help our students learn the value of giving back by hosting a FOOD DRIVE during our Boosterthon Fundraiser. Please send in non-perishable food items to be donated to Backpack Buddies and Tri-Area Ministries. Let’s partner with Boosterthon and help those in need in our own Backyard!

BOX TOPS
Kids were sent home with Box Top Ziploc bags to start collecting Box Tops for each classroom. Rewards will be given to the classroom that brings in the most Box Tops. Rewards will include popsicle and popcorn parties! The first deadline of the year will be November 1st. Each classroom has a large envelope where students can turn in their Ziploc bags. This is a easy way for the school to raise money. Each Box Top collected earns 10 cents and is used towards school needs .

Scholastic Book Order
If you are interested in placing a book order through Scholastic, please use the code on the flyer: J4Q7T. Please submit all orders by noon on September 2.

Raz-Kids
Raz-Kids is up and running. If your child would rather listen to a story for 20 minutes as their homework that would be great! The teacher login is: ablough0. Student passwords were sent home yesterday in your child’s GREEN folder.

Reading Logs
Each day your child should be coming home with a clear plastic bag which has a book as well as a reading log. Students should be filling out the reading each night. Bring back to school each day. Books may be kept more than one day if needed. Otherwise new books will come home each night.
