Dear Pleasanton School Families,
WOW! In the past 24 hours, an overwhelming number of families have answered our call, sending hundreds of invitations to friends and family. We're so excited to see that expanding home libraries and supporting our teachers is as important to you as it is to us.
There's still time to get in on the fun. That's right: If you didn't have a chance to register and send 10 or more invitations to family and friends, you still have time. Click this link so you don't miss out! https://app.booksarefun.com/PleasantonSch68866
Complete your Treasure Map tonight and your student(s) will be entered to win the Epic Treasure Chest (KIT)! Prize drawings start tomorrow!
Dear Pleasanton School Families,
Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students’ home libraries. For over 30 years, Books are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.
Here are the steps:
1) Click this link: https://app.booksarefun.com/PleasantonSch68866 .
2) Register your student(s).
3) Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students . (Don’t worry; all the information you provide is secure and only used for this program.)
Need help registering? Watch this short step-by-step video: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/how-to-complete
Why I love this program:
It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies.
The book list is fantastic! It’s attached, check it out.
It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation.

Track & Field Meet Day! Good luck at Holdredge tracksters!
Good luck to all those competing in activities this week!
Alright, team—we’re in the final stretch of the Kids Heart Challenge, and we have ONE LAST WEEKEND to make something truly legendary happen… Mr. Westland in an inflatable duck costume. 🦆🤣
Imagine it: Mr. Westland waddling through the halls, flapping his little duck wings, maybe even letting out a few quacks of regret. Will he fit through the classroom doors? Will he attempt lunch duty while looking like a giant rubber ducky? Only YOU can make this happen!
But if we don’t hit our goal? He gets to stay in normal, boring principal clothes. No waddling. No flapping. No duck-tastic embarrassment. And honestly… that would be a tragedy.
So, don’t let us down! Register THIS WEEKEND and turn Mr. Westland into the majestic mallard he was meant to be. 🦆✨ The countdown is on! ⏳
Heidi Darby, with Buffalo County Extension, brought her Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches to the Kindergarten and 6th Grade classrooms earlier this week. It was a thrilling and fun experience for the kids!
