Alamo Spellathon

Alamo’s annual Spell-a-thon will take place on the third Thursday of January Thursday, January 23, 2020. This is a fun and educational fundraiser that raised over $30,000 for Alamo last year! Your child learns to spell 25 words (Kindergarten to 3rd grade) or 40/50 words (4th and 5th grade), while your family and friends can reward his/her effort with a tax-deductible donation to Alamo School. Donations raised are used to pay for grade-wide field trips, teacher classroom allocations, assemblies, copier expenses, school beautification projects, family nights, Grandparents Day, and much more.

Your child should have received a parent letter, spelling words, pledge form and envelope. Additional copies can be found at https://www.friendsofalamo.org/fundraising/spell-a-thon/. Please encourage your child to study his/her spelling words and ask friends and family to sponsor them. Our goal is to have 100% participation - any donation amount helps! The students will take the spelling test by or before January 23 in their class. The tests will be scored and returned to the student. Please collect the pledge money or checks from your child’s sponsors by Friday, February 14, 2020. Checks should be payable to “Alamo PTA” and returned to your teacher.

Online donations through PayPal can be made by clicking on the donate button above. Some important notes regarding online payments:

  1. If possible, please reserve online payments for amounts $20 or greater to help us minimize Paypal fees (though it is fine if you have out of town donors).

Alamo學校一年一度的串字馬拉鬆游戲將於2020年1月的第三個週四（1月23日）舉行。這是一個既有趣又具有教育意義的資金籌集活動，去年為Alamo籌集3萬多美金。您的孩子將學習拼寫25個單詞（幼兒園至三年級）或40/50個單詞（四、五年級），您的朋友或家人可通過為Alamo學校免稅捐贈來獎勵他/她。本次活動籌集的資金將用於各個年級的實地考察旅行、教室分配、集合、復印機費用、學校美化項目、家庭之夜、祖父母日等等。

您的孩子應該收到一封致家長的信，其中包括拼寫單詞和保證書。其他副本請訪問https://www.friendsofalamo.org/fundraising/spell-a-thon/。請鼓勵您的孩子學習單詞拼寫并尋求朋友和家人的支持。我們的目標是全體學生（100%）參加——捐款量不在多少！孩子們將在各自的班級完成單詞拼寫測試（時間截止至1月23日），測試將在評分完成後交到學生手中。請於2020年2月14日，週五之前向支持您孩子的朋友或家人領取捐款或支票。支票抬頭請寫“Alamo PTA”，並交給老師。
