What is the Read-a-Thon?
This is not only our biggest fundraiser for our school, but also an effort to promote the love of books and the joy of reading. To kick off Read-a-Thon all students will get to choose a book to keep on April 16th.
On April 17, students will begin to record their daily reading time in their reading logs and are invited to dress like their favorite Anime or Fantasy Character.
What to do:
Ask family and friends to sponsor you during the Read-a-Thon either by:
Making a flat donation (for example, $20) OR
Sponsoring an amount per minute of reading (for example, 1 cent per minute)
Track your pledges on the Pledge Form sent home with your student or go here to register (or scan the QR code) and log pledges online. Earn a sticker prize for registering online and fidgets at certain fundraising goals!
READ, READ, READ! Keep track of how much you read (or are read to) inside or outside of school on the Reading Log calendar. Remember to have your grown-up sign your Reading Log each week!
PRIZES!
The logging of time ends the evening of April 30th, with all information turned in May 1-3st. We will not accept any minute logs turned in after May 5. However, any online or cash donations to Read-a-thon will be accepted through May 15.
In 2026, we asked all students at HPE to make a Read-a-Thon Poster for 3 posters to be chosen as winners: 1 from PreK-1st Grade, 1 from 2nd-3rd Grade, and 1 from 4th-5th Grade. Here are this year's winning posters!
