About
The K-8 Read-a-thon will start on Monday, May 2nd and end on June 2nd! Don’t forget to encourage your children to read and gather pledges for how many minutes they’ve read in a month. Please ask friends, family members, and neighbors to make a pledge or donation. Every little bit counts towards building our school library!
Classrooms with the most participating students will win a class party. There will also be prizes for the student who collects the most pledges and for the student who reads the most minutes.
And there’s more! As an extra incentive, each individual classroom will receive a classroom visit from a special author for a book read-a-loud!
Thank you for your support in helping make this Read-a-thon a success!

Tips for Success:
- Set a daily reading goal. The Read-a-thon is based on minutes read, which allows students with different reading speeds to compete on a level playing field for recognition.
- Pick a quiet, well-lit and comfortable place to read.
- Use a clock to ensure accuracy of how many minutes read.
- Enjoy!
