How does it work?

It’s simple and here’s how students can learn and support a good cause:

FFES and FFMS students have selected the month of February to begin tracking their reading progress. Students will track each minute they read and will encourage family and friends to sponsor their reading efforts. At the end of the month, all donations provided to the students’ effort will be collected and given to the RMHC-CR.

More importantly, have fun, and best of luck!!
