Our BIG, SWEET goal this year is $8,000 to help buy new books for our school Library. Book purchases include new releases, new additions to popular book series and the addition of diverse and inclusive books. Funds raised will also be used for in-school cultural events in the Library including a poetry night and printing of a poetry book and inviting guests to present activities on Hispanic heritage, Black history, Native American heritage and STEM topics. Donations can be made on Parent Square, via the Read-A-Thon Website or in the front office. Every $20 donation earns an entry into the prize drawing!

Design a Candy Wrapper
Design a Candy Wrapper
For this special occasion, we'll be turning your favorite books into delicious candy treats! Choose your favorite book and let your imagination run wild!
Grab a piece of paper or the provided design and start designing the candy wrapper – make it colorful and eye-catching, reflecting both the candy theme and the idea of your chosen book. Use markers, colored pencils or crayons to bring your creative vision to life. Imagine your characters, places, and events, and draw or cut out shapes to represent them on the wrapper.
Turn in your candy wrapper book project to your teacher or the front office and look for its magical appearance in the school library during Read-A-Thon!
