DISTRICT WIDE READ-A-THON

RUNNING FEBRUARY 24TH - MARCH 7TH


In partnership with the CNSD, the PTO will be kicking off the District-Wide Read-A-Thon fundraiser on Monday, February 24th. Designed to promote literacy and foster a love of reading, your child(ren) can participate by reading each day, tracking their minutes, and obtaining donations from friends and family for their time.


Flyers with specific details for setting up your child's reading tracker and their fundraising page have been sent home with your children. If you haven't activated their page yet, you can get started now with these 3 easy steps:


1) Activate your account at www.read-a-thon.com/readers. Use code 3277850.

2) Once activated, use the online tools to tell friends and family about our Read-A-Thon.

3) Track and log reading sessions from February 24- March 7.
