On Tuesday, January 24th, Pittsfield Elementary School had a visit from Fungo, the Fisher Cats’ mascot. He loves to read and he was here to get the whole student body excited about the NH Fisher Cats Reading Challenge.

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats Reading Challenge challenges students to read five books outside the normal curriculum during the school year. When students complete the challenge, they receive two complimentary tickets to a Fisher Cats baseball game this spring where they will be able to be recognized on the field before the game! Everyone is very excited about the challenge and motivated to complete it.

PES will be participating on the NH Fisher Cats Reading Challenge, a program run in partnership with the Community College System of New Hampshire. Each student who completes the challenge—reading five books in addition to their regular classroom reading—will receive two tickets to go see the Fisher Cats this spring.

Susan Kinney is organizing the challenge here at school and she has arranged for Fungo, the Fisher Cats’ mascot to visit our school next Tuesday, January 24, for a special morning assembly from 8:05 to 8:30. Fungo will attempt to get our readers excited and explain how the challenge works.

Teachers will be sending home flyers today about the PES Technology Team pizza fundraiser. Eat at your favorite pizzeria on Tuesday and earn money technology supplies.
