Bethany 2024 Read-A-Thon

March 11th-March 22nd

Bethany Elementary’s annual Read-a-Thon is a great way to jump-start your student’s excitement to read this spring and throughout the year. It’s also one of two core fundraisers that support the PTO general fund (the other is the spring Jog-a-Thon). Look for the information to come home with your students, or click here to download the flyer.

Our students will collect flat amount or per-minute pledges from family and friends, and then read for 12 days starting on March 11, recording their minutes each day. Any kind of reading counts - including being read to by another child or adult. We’ll celebrate the end of the the Read-a-Thon with Character Dress Up Day on March 22nd! The Read-a-Thon provides students with the opportunity to win fun prizes and celebrate their favorite books, while raising essential funds to support our school. Thank you for your support!
