Read-a-Thon underway at Holy Spirit School

Holy Spirit School in East Greenbush is excited to announce that its annual Read-a-Thon fundraiser — which brings students together with family and friends to encourage reading and literacy skills — starts March 7 and runs until March 20. All preschool through eighth-grade students will work toward their reading goals, participate in fun challenges and earn prizes. Business and community sponsors have generously donated all prizes, including game tickets, taekwondo classes and restaurant gift cards.

The Read-a-Thon is one way Holy Spirit School raises critical funds needed to achieve its mission. This year’s fundraising goal of $25,000 will keep tuition rates affordable and provide assistance to families in need.

“Every child should have the opportunity to benefit from the gift of a Catholic school education,” said Michael Kosar, principal. “As a product of Catholic schools myself, I know how important this foundation is.”

If you are interested in learning more about what Holy Spirit School can offer your child during the current enrollment period, contact the school office at (518) 477-5739 or email Kosar at [email protected].
