Maratón de Lectura Fundraising
HOW DO WE RAISE FUNDS?
October is the time for Eagle Heights Spanish Immersion’s annual Maratón de Lectura/Read-Thon! This event is designed to help students develop their readings skills and a love for books while raising money to support our school. This month-long event is the PTO’s primary fundraiser, funding over 75% of the PTO Budget! All dollars raised during Maratón de Lectura will go directly back to the school and classrooms!
