ÉOLR Annual Read-a-Thon | January 26 – February 8
We are excited to announce our upcoming school-wide Read-a-Thon, running from January 26 to February 8! This annual event celebrates the joy of reading while encouraging students and families to spend time together exploring books, stories, and new ideas.
Mrs. Abram is busy planning fun and engaging literacy activities to make this Read-a-Thon extra special for students!
The Read-a-Thon promotes daily reading habits, strengthens literacy skills, and helps foster a lifelong love of learning. All funds raised will go directly toward enhancing classroom libraries and literacy resources for our students.
Classes with the highest total minutes read will be celebrated with a special treat at the conclusion of the event!
More information, including reading logs and collection envelopes, will be sent home toward the end of the month. Thank you for supporting literacy at ÉOLR—we can’t wait to read together!
Your extraordinary journey begins here.
