Our annual Polaris Read-a-Thon is off to a great start! The kids had so much fun with Spirit Week and loved opening their books for "Drop Everything and Read" time!

With a week to go, the students have read approximately 72,000 minutes (25% goal) and collected $21,000 in pledges (35% goal)! WAY TO GO!

If you are not one of the 34% of families logged into 99pledges, log in today! Let’s finish strong by encouraging your students to read at home and collect those donations by sharing their 99pledges link with friends and family… near and far! Together, we can all experience the Zen Happiness that author Jon Muth shares in his books!

The deadline for purchasing a yearbook is April 24th! Here's the link to the TreeRing site (passcode:101672853450376) where you can complete the following:

Purchase your student's hard or soft cover yearbook, a portion of which will go to fund important programs at Polaris.
We also need your photos! On TreeRing, you can upload photos from school events. Find the folder where it makes sense and upload!
Purchase a Recognition Ad, which will be included in EVERY yearbook. Recognitions don't have to be just for your student, feel free to buy a dedication for your favorite teacher, admin, or staff member! 100% of these sales go to PTO-funded activities, paras and the electives program. You can buy an ⅛ of a page for $20, ¼ of a page for $40 and ½ of a page for $60.
You can also complete the complementary two-page spread, which will be exclusive to your students yearbook.
If your student is a 5th grader, please upload a baby picture of them as soon as you can!
