Dear Community Families,
This week is Fall Break from Nov. 23-27, but our Readathon travel adventure continues into Week 4! This break is fantastic time to sneak in some extra reading minutes AND to reach out to family and friends to donate (especially during those Thanksgiving zoom sessions)! Remember to keep sharing your student's fundraising page! The more you share, the more ou raise! So far, our CMCS Community has already raised over $35,215 and read over 115,516 minutes!!! Amazing!! Keep scrolling for our weekly Recap video, Week 3 winners, Week 4 Challenge video, and what's at stake in Week 4.
***BREAKING NEWS--- It looks like our teams will have an EXTRA week to reach their destinations! That's right-- we're having so much fun we've decided to extend our trip by 1 week! That means an extra week of chances to read and raise! Plus, extra incentive opportunities! Week 5 (our final week) will end Saturday, December 5th at 5 PM and we'll announce our overall winners Monday, December 7th! As we head into this final 2 week stretch, let's keep reading and raising to see how far we can go together!!
Planning some shopping for Black Friday or CyberMonday? If you'll be visiting Amazon.com, be sure to use our Amazon Associates Link so a portion of your purchase will be given back to CFF. And don't forget Giving Tuesday on 12/2 is a great chance to give back to our CMCS community and participate in Pledge Drive!
Speaking of Pledge Drive, we've got some incentive winners and updates to announce in this newsletter edition! Congrats to Room 15 -- our first classroom to reach 100% participation!!
