Edison will once again have our Edison Read A Thon to help support literacy for our students over winter break.  The Read A Thon will run from December 20th - January 7th.  

The Edison Read A Thon takes place over winter break for two reasons.  

1.)  Keep students reading during the 18 days off of winter break.

2.)  Raise money to support literacy goals and the Edison Library.  

We will partner again with a company called Read For My Schools (RFMS) to help with tracking the minutes students read and help support the fundraising part of the Read A Thon.  RFMS is a web based platform as well as an app families can use at home to track and enter minutes.  The site also allows families to send information on the fundraiser to anyone who might donate money for their students and donate directly through the site.  

Each students goal is to read  for 540 minutes over break, which is about 30 minutes a day.  Of course students can read more than that and move up the leaderboard and earn cool prizes for reading. 

There are three ways to donate to the Read A Thon.

1.)  Venmo: @EdisonElementaryPTA  (Edison gets 100%, put "READ" in the notes)

2. GiveSmart Donation Form (Edison gets 100% if donor covers 3.5% credit card fees. Donor gets a tax deductible receipt) 

3.)  Use Read For My Schools and Stripe ($3 per transaction goes to RFMS)
