It's time for the Breckenridge Elementary School Read-A-Thon!
Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Monday March 3, 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.
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 below to activate your student's Reader account:

Our 7th-grade Social Studies students brought Ancient Greek warfare to life today! 🏛️⚔️ Using keywords and actions, they performed creative skits to see if their classmates could guess the significant historical events they were depicting.
