My son, Matt Desio, is a 4th Grader at Meadow School in Baldwin, NY.  He is participating in a fundraising Math-A-Thon to make it possible for St. Jude to treat childhood cancer patients regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

The benefits of Math-A-Thon add up to help a excellent cause. Matt will:

• improve math and comprehension skills
• solve age-appropriate math problems
• know the importance of helping others

This all equals help for St. Jude patients battling cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.

Under the direction of Scholastic, the Math-A-Thon Funbook has designed a new curriculum of math activities to meet national standards in education and challenge today’s K – 8 students with age-appropriate math problems. The work the students will do as part of Math-A-Thon will also be subjects that must be covered in each grade level by the time the student leaves his or her current grade. The subjects are broken down into focal points, which will be covered in the new Funbook.

This exciting new addition expands the benefits of the Math-A-Thon program from the St. Jude campus to the classroom to school districts themselves. Not only does the new Funbook allow students to raise funds for St. Jude and help them practice their math skills, but it also serves as preparation for the standardized tests at the end of the school year.

I am asking you to sponsor Matt in the Math-A-Thon and encourage him to complete the Math Fun-Book for a worthy cause.  The event ends on December 4th so please make your sponsorship donations as soon as possible:

Thank you so much for supporting my son & such a worthy cause and Pleased Holidays!!!
