Read-A-Thon

The PTO is having a READ-A-THON fundraiser. Your student will be given a packet with information and a collection envelope. They can collect pledges from parents, family, friends and neighbors to sponsor their reading. 100% of the proceeds will go to the school. The PTO plans to use the money raised during this event to enhance the school environment and provide materials and/or resources for the students, staff, and teachers of Discovery Elementary.

Our school goal for reading minutes is 50,000. Each teacher will help the students to set a personal reading goal. We want all students to participate in the Read-a-Thon whether they collect pledges or not.

The students can collect pledges in fixed amounts from
March 12th -19th.

From March 15th -21st the students must read or be read to daily. There is a reading log to record their minutes read each day. The students must return their VERIFICATION SLIPS to school each day to be eligible for the book fair certificate drawings.

From March 20th-24th the money needs to be collected from the sponsors and returned in the envelope to school. All envelopes need to be returned to the school by Thursday, March 25th.

If the school meets the reading goal of 50,000 reading minutes, Mr. Marlowe will kiss a PIG.

Every student that participates and meets their goal will get a ribbon and a coupon for a free Friday treat. Every student that meets their goal and gets $40 or more in pledges will get a medal. The student with the most pledges and meets their goal in each class will receive a trophy. The class with the most collective pledges will get a trophy to keep in their classroom for the remainder of the year.
