Description

The purpose of the Read-A-Thon is to improve literacy, and encourage middle school students to read for joy!  Our Read-A-Thon will involve reading in all core classes throughout the week of February 24.  Students will track their reading minutes, help raising money for The Free Book Buggie, a book swap and donation opportunity, and help our school create a Little Free Library.  Students will be entered into a raffle at the end of the Read-A-Thon for prizes.  Donated prizes will help motivate our 1,300 students to read and achieve literacty goals and realize the our service goal of making books easily available to others.
