• Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Friday January 24, 2025 and is sure to be a fun and exciting event. We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.
• Watch a short video to see how to signup your reader: https://youtu.be/12tmuXH8zCg
• This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link to activate your student's Reader account: https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/qDJsDt/1
