Subject:  Support <<Student’s>> Reading

<<Student>> is busy reading this week as part of the school district’s annual BCE Read-a-thon and wants to share a message with you:  

Hi <<name or nickname>>  I am reading to support my education; would you be willing to sponsor me? If so, you just need to click here to make a donation.  I will be reading as much as I can, and it will really motivate me to know I have your support!

The BCE Read-a-thon is fun and important to <<school>>. BCE is my school district’s education foundation that raises money to pay for all kinds of programs that many public schools in California no longer offer like music, art, PE, and even provides my teachers with extra training to help me excel in math and science!

I plan to read every chance I get.  I will be logging my minutes to help BCE hit the goal of $160,000 and 1 million minutes read.  Thank you for ANY amount that helps us reach our goal. I’m excited to start reading!

Thank You,

<<Student>>
