Saint James Academy 2012 Spell-A-Thon
We are pleased to announce the return of the SJA Spell-A-Thon. This is a unique way to raise funds for the school while promoting academic excellence. Money raised will go to the general fund to help support activities and programs which benefit our students, while strengthening their academic talents!
For
our Spell-A-Thon, students will be given grade appropriate words and
challenged to spell them. Family and friends can sponsor our students
by pledging funds for each word spelled correctly, OR by simply
making a flat donation in support of a student's participation in the
Spell-a-Thon. As an extra challenge, each student can set a goal and
ask for a double-pledge
if that goal is met.
SJA’s
Spell-a-Thon is the ideal way to raise money for our school while
encouraging students to continue learning as they master spelling
words. Our goal is to have 100% participation, so please join us in
this educational and entertaining endeavor.

sheets and study lists go home Wednesday January 11th.

Spell-A-Thon
tests will be scored and returned for pledge collection by January

In
order to generate excitement for this challenge, prizes will be
offered to those classrooms meeting the following goals:
The class with the highest percentage of participants AND the class with the highest funds raised will earn their respective teachers a $100 gift card to be used for classroom supplies/resources. These classes will also earn an ice cream party.
The individual student with the highest funds raised will earn $25.
We appreciate your support and participation in Saint James Academy’s Spell-A-Thon and ask that you pledge generously! Thank you!
