Read-A-Thon Success!

It’s tough to find time to read, so Book Club Leaders gave students the opportunity to read quietly while building families around the world.  On Friday, January 10th from 3:30-11:30 PM, we gathered in the quiet reading area and our sponsors helped us raise at least $2600 for Heifer International ($ is still coming in from donors).
All funds will go to the WorldBuilder organization for Heifer, as promoted by one of our favorite authors, Patrick Rothfuss!  (The Name of the Wind series)  A heifer can go to a family in a developing country for only $500, offering the family milk and giving them hope for sustainability.
Thanks to coordinator Gaelan Bergstron and Book Club Presidents Chloe Pacyna and Mykayla Perry for putting this even together!  See more photos by Megan Boericke here.
