Welcome to the Walnut Heights Read-A-Thon!

Dear Walnut Heights Families,

Our PTA sponsored 2018/2019 Read-A-Thon will officially start on Monday, October 22nd. This great fundraiser will begin in conjunction with our Book Fairgiving all of us the opportunity to support our kids’ love of reading by logging in their reading minutes and asking friends and family to support their reading time.

This week your student will come home with a personalized flyer with instructions to set up a fundraising page that you can send to family and friends. Please set this page up as soon as possible so your child is ready to read, read, read! Log their minutes every time they read from October 22nd through November 9th...


We love this fundraiser because it engages grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends to support our children's love of reading. This year our goal is to raise $21,398.20 (can you guess why this odd amount?!). These Read-A-Thon funds will go to support  the many great programs that make Walnut Heights so special including library and classroom books, grade level grants, science and art supplies, tech programs, music and so much more.

 

And of course, there will be prizes! Students can earn “rat bucks” for donations received as well as prizes/treats for logging the most reading minutes. Participants are guaranteed a prize just for signing up!

For added incentive, there will be classroom pizza parties for the classes* who:

1) Log the most reading minutes
2) Raise the most money
3) Most individual pledges


Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns, or if you need us to resend your child's unique code in order to register.

Happy Reading!
