Bitterroot Read-a-Thon

Just a reminder that Bitterroot is having a read-a-thon with the school's goal of reading 45,000 minutes. If this goal is reached, then Mr. Senitte will get sawed in half at our special Magic Show. This is what Mr. Senitte has to say so far:
'The total minutes read from the envelopes collected this morning is 15,875 minutes...quite a ways from the 45,000 goal. We had more envelopes returned today, but not near as many as we had hoped. With only 4 days left of the read-a-thon, one could say that Mr. Senitte is feeling quite confident of not having to get sawed in two!'

Oh, no! We need to read, read, read!!! Bring your envelopes in on Wednesday and Friday so Special Activities can count the minutes. Write down every minute you read!!! And try to get sponsors to donate to our cause...we're trying to raise money for a new computer lab. C'mon 6th graders! We can do this!!!
