CPES READ-A-THON: Reading Road Trip, Fuel Your Love for Reading

We're trying a new thing at Cameron Park this year. Instead of the standard Catalog sales this Fall, PTGO decided to raise desperately needed funds for our school while simultaneously encouraging our students to read more. It's a Win-Win situation for the PTGO and Cameron Park students!

FUNDRAISING GOALS
The PTGO would like to raise $15,000 through the Read-a-Thon. If we meet our fundraising goal, Mr. Westbrook has agreed to dress up like a girl for an entire day. If we are able to raise $20,000 this year, Mr. Westbrook will also get into a dunk tank at the Fall Festival. Many thanks to Mr. Westbrook for being such a good sport and helping to motivate the kids!
