How It Works

🔗 Your Reading Page: Each student receives a personalized link via email to their own Read-a-Thon page.
📚 Log Your Minutes: Track all reading outside of school hours—independent reading, family reading, or being read to all count.

Share the Fun

Families can share their student’s page with friends and relatives so they can cheer them on. Supporters can follow reading progress and, if they choose, make a donation to support PTO programs like Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS).

Everything is handled online—no forms, no cash, just reading and fun.

Why We’re Doing This

This event is all about building a love of reading and celebrating time spent with books. Participation matters most, and any funds raised support PTO enrichment programs across the school.

Funds raised by 5th grade students go directly toward end-of-year activities.
