Slime Time



Addison's school does a great fundraiser each year, which is a reading challenge for the kids. All the students are asked to get pledges from friends and family and commit to reading 100 books in a week! If they get the books read and can collect $75 in donations, at the end of the week, they win the super-cool, light-up, green sunglasses, a matching wand, an ice-cream party and the chance to SLIME their principal!!! Addison was all over this little project. She called up the grandparents and aunts and uncles and secured her $75 and then we set in on the reading. Let me tell you, 100 books in 7 days is no small task! We are BIG readers around here and it was still tough. But, we got it done. She LOVED slime day. You can see her, in the picture her teacher sent me. She is in the tie-dye spirit day shirt, dumping her cup of slime on his head. What a fun way to raise over $20,000 for the school, while encouraging the kids to read and having a good time!
