Read Success (3) (pdf)
DownloadA total of 102 women and girls from the community rolled up their sleeves for the Read Elementary's Playground Platoon: The Women's Build on August 15. Thanks to the support of the Women's Fund of the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, Discover Oshkosh, and 4imprint the group was able to install the Read Rockets back drop on the softball diamond, spray paint bike racks, add stones to our entry way, add games to our back parking lot, as well as many improvements inside the school. All the additions make the space more welcoming to our staff and students that are returning to school. We are so grateful for their sweat equity!

Thanks to the support of Oshkosh Mid-Morning Kiwanis, the Oshkosh Herald, and the Belles, Books and Candor Fund this book walk will promote early literacy throughout our community. Created by Muza Metal under the leadership of Chuck Galipo, these book walk stands help break up a story so that children can "walk" through a book, discussing and making predictions based on the illustrations before reading the text. This process encourages students to make connections, activate prior knowledge, and generate curiosity about the story. Because of the generosity of these donors, the book will change monthly to encourage families to keep coming back.
Thanks to the help of Zillges and Bomanite Concrete, we'll have a stage in this area where students can present on projects, or kids can perform their favorite play. This stage will allow the school to mix curriculum with fun, and once again be a space that the community can use for their own needs.
Thanks to our volunteers from the Women's Build, we invite you to come play Read's Candy Land. Be the first player to reach the end! Spin to find out what color you should go to, or follow the directions on where you should go. First one to the end wins... until you decide to play again!
Thanks to the help of Zillges, we'll be having an outdoor classroom available to Read classes, as a space for mentors to meet with students, and a place available to the public.
Thanks to the talents of Read parent, Andrew Kramp, who built new garden boxes, and with the help of the Women's Build volunteers in planting, we will now have vegetables and herbs available for the public. We hope the community will enjoy the Read Community Gardens!
Are there any ninja warriors out there? Come try out our ninja course! Challenge your child through this fun activity which will help them develop strength, balance, coordination, and better cardiovascular health.
To help encourage play in nature, endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, and fun, our volunteers from the Women's Build created the tree to tree walk. We hope your kids will challenge themselves in this natural space. A special thank you to Annie Kotenberg for her hard work in planning, digging, and making the walk a reality.
We are grateful to Art City Wraps for their design in making our transformer look fun, creative, and a perfect spot for your first day of school photos!
All gifts over $1,000 will be acknowledged on a plaque outside of the playground. All gifts towards this campaign will be acknowledged on a creative wall inside the school. We are grateful for any contribution you can donate to make our dream a reality.
