As of Friday January 20th, 45 donors have generously given $6500 – thank you Cornell Community!
The majority of the donations have been $100, however we have received larger amounts including donations for $200, $250, $300 a $1000 donation, all of which is really huge supporting our PTA programs.
Last year we gave approximately $20,000 to teacher and classroom support from our Hundrathon Funding, and we’d love to do that again. That funding gave $2000 per grade level for teachers to use for classroom supplies – along with additional funding to programs like PE, special education, noontime activities, and more. Teachers used that money for books, butterfly and insect habitats, globes, art materials, reading centers……and the list goes on. The funding we raise through this Hundrathon will allow the teachers to purchase materials for their grades, and the more we raise, the more they can spend.
Check out the constellations on the wall outside the Principal’s office – and see which ones you can name! The paper stars are up in the hallway also, listing many of the reasons our students love Cornell. You can donate by dropping the envelope in the safe in the Principal’s office, or online at http://www.cornellpta.org/hundrathon/
Monday, January 23rd is school day #93 – let’s celebrate!
With huge thanks,
2012 Hundrathon Committee
