Description

The Colebrook Consolidated School PTO works to enhance and support the educational experience at CCS by supporting academic and enrichment activities. The CCS PTO primarily offers enriching programming, funding bussing for school-sponsored field trips, and supporting special classroom requests.

For the 1st time in over a decade, CCS is celebrating National Reading Month with a month of enrichment activities, family nights and a read-a-thon. CCS PTO is so excited to spend March encouraging a love of reading in our students. We will be funding a different enrichment program each week (author visits, plays, and guest speakers) and providing a family night for free. To cover the costs of these expenses we are hosting a single fundraiser this spring, a read-a-thon. We hope this reading challenge reinforces our reading principles and also adds some fun. CCS PTO is self-funding all prizes for the read-a-thon to maximize profit AND tailor prizes to our students interests. 

We are seeking meaningful donations to be used as prizes and initiatives in March.
