Read for the Read-a-Thon
Read-A-Thon packets went out to all students at the beginning of this month and the Read-A-Thon started March 2, but it’s not too late to join in and raise funds for the school and win prizes! Click on the link for Tracking and Pledge Sheets.
All funds go to benefit the Meridian Park PTSA. Readers can read aloud to others or be read to as well as reading on their own for credit. All reading counts!
Please help your kids to reach out to family members, neighbors, friends, your co-workers and others to seek pledges either in a flat amount or money per minute read!
Prizes address individual and group accomplishments for reading and fundraising achievement. Prizes include:
- Tie Dye Silicon Read-A-Thon Wrist Band
- 2012 Read-A-Thon T-Shirts
- Participation in Final Design Team for 2012 T-Shirts
- Movie Tickets to local cinemas
- Attendance at an on-site Tie Dye Party for Read-A-Thon T-Shirts (date to be announced)
- Funds for Classroom Library Purchases
New this year: Recruit a new reader (someone who hasn’t participated in the Read-A-Thon before). If you each raise $60 or read 4,500+ minutes, you each get an extra 500 reading minutes credit towards prizes!
If you have questions about the Read-A-Thon, please feel free to contact Melanie anytime at melaniegillespie@mac.com.

Each year more than150,000 students from USA, Canada and many other parts of the world take the AMC 8.
Grant Hugh placed in the top 1% of all contestants and will be listed in the Distinguished Honor Roll published by the MAA. Spencer Lu, James Qiu and Julie Zhou placed in the top 5% of all contestants and will be listed in the Honor Roll. Grant won first place, Spencer second, James and Julie tied for third in our Section A, which consisted of the 6th graders in the Competition Math Club.
Sandy Cheng won first place; Logan Gnanapragasam second; Fred Liu, Chris Lawson, Evan Zverev and Jamie Forschmiedt tied for third place in our 17-member Section B (4th and 5th graders).
Students who are in 6th grade or below and who scored in the top 15% overall are listed in the Achievement Roll: Nathaniel Poole, Sandy Cheng, and Aenea Towns-von Stauber.
The Second Annual Shoreline Car Show, organized and co-chaired by parents Marty and Holly DeGrazia, happened Sunday, July 31, 2011. And despite wet weather, fun was had by all!
JP Patches signed autographs, The Fabulous Hammers provided great live music, and vendors served up tasty food and showy cars of all types were on display.
Local businesses sponsor this event, and for 2011, this is an official Seafair event that is a gathering for all of Shoreline.
Thank you, Marty and Holly for all your hard work, and to the many volunteers who came to help!
