Hi [Name]!

It’s that time again! [Student’s Name] is participating in HES’s Read-A-Thon — and we need your help! This is HES’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and it brings in over 90% of the money the PTA uses to support the school.

That means your donation helps fund so many awesome things:

🏃🎨🎬 New equipment for Specials teachers like: new soccer nets for PE, a kiln for Art Class, a projector/screen/speakers & microphone for Music Class, etc

🎉 Community activities and events for families all school year long

The best part? All students are reading to raise money — so it helps them grow their brains and support their school at the same time!

You can support [Student’s Name] with a quick donation here:

Every little bit helps, and your support means the world to our family and to the whole HES community.

Thank you so much!
