When a student reaches their goal of 160 minutes of reading time during the Read a Thon (just 20 minutes a day) they’ll get their name added to the Star Reader Bookshelf, get to spin the prize wheel, and help our school reach its goal of reading 67,000 minutes!

Remember to log your kiddos minutes throughout the week through their Read a Thon webpage!

It’s time to start logging your students' reading minutes and requesting donations from friends and families! Remember, your kiddo can:

- pick out prizes when they receive donations!
- add their name to the reading wall when they reach their reading goal of 160 minutes!
- pie a teacher in the face if they are the top reader in their grade!

Plus, we’ll have some extra fun rewards added as we go!

Each student has a goal to read (or practice reading) 160 minutes over the next 8 days (so just 20 minutes a day), and our total fundraising goal is $6000!
