March is Reading Month
by your reporter on the beat
Have bags of books from the library started to take over your house? That's how I know it is March, and time for March is Reading Month activities!

Kids turn in logs with the number of minutes they read and earn prizes to bring home. Some of you may have seen some prizes already! If you need more reading logs, minute goals sheet, fascinating facts sheet, or trading card sheets, download them here

New this year is Read to Feed where the PTO will donate ten cents for every one hundred minutes the students read during the entire month of March to Heifer International. Parents are invited to participate (this is in addition to the PTO donation) by filling out a pledge form to sponsor your child(ren) during the read-a-thon March 19-21st.

Some March is Reading Month dates to remember:
Mon Mar 15th Ann Arbor Author Nancy Shaw presents all day
Tue Mar 16th Dress as your favorite book character
Fri Mar 19th UM Athletes read in the PM
Mar 19th - 21st "Read to Feed" Read-a-thon

Bach Family Pool Party a Success
Over 75 excited children showed up and splashed, laughed, and swam away the afternoon at the Bach Family Pool Party at Mack Pool last Sunday. The theme was pure fun for the kids and relaxing for their accompanying adults observing from the pool deck.

A big thank you to Kristin Burgard, mother of first grader Katie for organizing this event with Mack Pool!

Planning on the
Burns Park Run?

Since 1979 runners ages 5-85 have been running the Burns Park Loop with a celebrity athlete invited for inspiration. Last year alone over 200 elementary students participated. A 5K and 10K timed run as well as a 5K fun run are offered.

If you are planning on the Burns Park Run, be sure to register on the Bach team! New this year is Run for the Schools, where 100% of the net profit from student and accompanying adult registration will support the Bach PTO.
