Read-a-Thon

Calling All Bookworms! Our Annual Read-A-Thon Fundraiser will take place in Spring 2026.

This event gives our children the chance to raise money for our PTA without selling anything—just by doing what they love: reading!

How does it work?
Instead of selling products, we’re focusing on promoting our school’s love for reading. The best part? 100% of the money raised during the Read-A-Thon will go directly to our school to support library books, teacher allotments, student enrichment programs, community-building activities, and so much more.

We’ve made the Read-A-Thon both easy and enjoyable for everyone! Our goal is for every child to participate and help make this event a huge success for both our school and students. For two weeks, your child is encouraged to ask family, neighbors, and friends to sponsor their reading time. Sponsors can either make a flat donation or pledge an amount per hour read.

What Counts (and What Doesn’t)?

• What counts:
  
  • Reading before and after school
  • Being read to
  • Reading instead of watching TV
  • Reading under the covers with a flashlight (only if your parents say it’s okay!)
  • Reading in the library during school time

• What doesn’t count:
  
  • Reading during class time (unless you’re in the library)
  • Watching the movie based on the book
  • Reading outside the official Read-A-Thon dates

Fun tip for older students: If you read to a younger sibling or friend, it counts for both of you!

Prizes!

We’ve got plenty of exciting prizes up for grabs:

• Grand Prize: The top fundraiser and the top reader (most hours read) will win the grand prize!
• Grade Level Prizes: The top reader from each grade level will receive a special prize.
• Top Class: The class that raises the most donations will win a class party!
• Raffle: For every $10 a student raises, they’ll earn a chance to win fun raffle prizes!

Thank you so much for supporting our readers and helping make this event a success for our school!

Happy Reading!
