Read-A-Thon 2024: 

Monday, February 26th to March 10th

From Monday, February 26th to Sunday, March 10th, our goal is for the entire school to read a total of 100,000 minutes, as well as raise $10,000! This is a fun school-wide event, as we will spend 2 weeks celebrating reading while raising money for our school. All profits will go directly to the PTA, which funds a myriad of programs, from photocopy machines and air conditioners, to literacy and math curricula, dance residencies, chess instruction, sports programs, club advisors, and drama and visual arts programs, to name just a few. 

How it works: Ask family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor you for 5, 10, or 15 cents for each minute you read outside of class time between Monday, February 26th - Sunday, March 10th. Your sponsors may also donate a flat amount. By registering here, you can set up an easy Read-A-Thon page for yourself and your donors.

When it comes to improving reading skills to ensure academic success, did you know:

• Reading for as little as 20 minutes a day improves children’s vocabulary and grammar.

• Reading a variety of books also provides students with exposure to different writing styles. This nourishes their creativity and helps them to become more confident writers at any age.

• The best way to improve reading skills is (you guessed it!) to read daily. Challenge yourself by reading a book outside of your comfort zone, whether that means the vocabulary is new and exciting or you pick up nonfiction in place of a novel!

There will be raffle prizes for participants! The more minutes you read, the more raffle tickets you earn.
