Dear Parents,

Our school believes that children who are good readers and writers will be better, happier students and citizens.  I have made a commitment to do all that I can to ensure that all students will be good readers and writers.  Attached you should find a “Read Around the Bases” poster from Traverse City Beach Bums.  Beginning today until Monday, April 1st, your child can participate in Traverse City Beach Bums Reading Program.  For those unfamiliar with the program, this is their seventh year offering the reading program.  Your child can earn prizes such as a free autographed poster, free fountain drink and up to two ticket vouchers for a Beach Bum game.  If you and your child decide to participate in the program, then please complete the poster and return it to school by Tuesday, April 2nd.  Prizes and ticket vouchers will be delivered during the month of May. 

 If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at
sniederstadt@manistee.org or (231) 889-9674 ext. 342.

Thanks,

Shantel Niederstadt
Title 1 Teacher
