READ-A-THON

Colorful books stacked on top of each other.

Don’t forget to use the Reading Log (https://tinyurl.com/2025-At-Home-Log) to record the minutes that you read. Your classroom teacher will let you know how to turn in your reading log. Please make sure it’s turned in by Friday, March 28th, to be eligible for the prizes. We’ll announce prize winners during the next All-School Meeting.

It’s not too late to collect donations for the Read-A-Thon! We have until April 4th to reach our goal of $35,000. If you haven’t already, please visit https://app.99pledges.com/fund/emersonele2025 to find your student’s page. You can forward the link to your student's page to friends and family far and wide!
