RUNNING FEBRUARY 20TH - MARCH 3RD

It's almost Read Across America Week and that means the PTO will be kicking off the District-Wide Read-a-Thon!! We are running this amazing program as a fundraiser that will also promote literacy and foster a love of reading in our children.  Your child(ren) can participate by reading each day, tracking their minutes, and obtaining donations from friends and family for their time.

Students should have received a flyer with a code for parents to create a page for each child to log their daily reading minutes. You may also use the sample codes below for each school and your teacher's name.

CRPS: 3142633 - CRES: 3142803 - CDMS: 3142782  

Get Started in 3 Easy Steps:

1) Activate your account at www.read-a-thon.com/readers by using a Class Code and your teacher's name. You may use the codes above.

2) Use the online tools to tell friends and family about our Read-A-Thon.

3) Track and log reading sessions from February 20 - March 3.
