At East we have a tradition on the last day of school called the 5th Grade Send-off. The entire student body K-4, with all teachers and staff line the hallways to cheer our graduating 5th graders as they walk out at the end of the day.

We are half-way done and our Read-a-thon is doing great!
As a school we have read for over 42,000 minutes (700 hours)! We are also closing in on our fundraising goal of $10,000 thanks to over 280 individual donations.
Students whose accounts are set up are tracking their reading in class for 20-30min each day. At home you can track and record reading minutes on their account to earn rewards.
Right now we have about 75% of our students participating.

We hope everyone is able to participate and have an enjoyable experience!

How does this event benefit Unity East?
Our annual Read-a-thon is the primary fundraiser for Unity East and the donations directly benefit our students and classrooms.
Donations from this event pay for our family night events, assemblies, guest speakers, field day supplies, and rewards such as Kona Ice visits, popcorn, and pizza parties.
These funds also provide for classroom supplies, such as books for classroom libraries, new technology, and program subscriptions such as Accelerated Reader, Starfall, Kahoot!, and GoNoodle.
Thank you for your support!

A special thank-you to Mrs. Seidlitz's class from the high school who partnered with Mrs. Roberts' 1st grade class. The high school students received a hand-drawn picture of a monster that they used to create stuffed creatures for their buddy. Students in 1R were thrilled to meet their monsters in person on Friday!
Unity East Student Senate is selling Candy Grams before school this week! Students can purchase candy grams for 25 cents each. Student Senators will deliver the candy grams to classrooms at the end of each day.
Tomorrow is the start of our Read-a-thon and we really hope everyone can participate!
Setting up a page only takes a few minutes, and your support with reading, donations, or both can really help toward our goals.
Setting up your kid's page does NOT require any donation. It does allow you to help your reader track minutes outside school so they can reach a reading goal and earn some fun prizes.
