Principal Message

 

Dear Parents and community members, 


Thank you for all of your energy and donation supporting Readathon this week. One more week to go for donations! Please check out the information below to help the donations continue to grow. I am excited to have my donut party with Ms. Suthers 2nd grade class, and get slimed by Ms. Peterson's Kindergarten class! The joy of this event continues to grow each and every year and I want to thank all the students and the readathon team for an incredible event!

 

Sincerely,

Kyle Shaw

Neil Cummins Elementary Principal

Our Neil Cummins community had a blast on Readathon Day! Your child met with published authors and spent time reading, doing reading-related activities and designing their own bookmarks. 

Special events and critical programs such as Readathon Day depend on fundraising dollars. Please support your child by helping them share their fundraising page with family, friends and neighbors who might donate. 


CORPORATE MATCHING: Does your company have a corporate matching program? If so, please consider submitting  your Readathon donations so that your company will match. The Neil Cummins PTO is a registered Section 501(c)3 nonprofit and your Readathon donations qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes (Tax ID#36-4781717).
