Read-A-Thon

Read-a-thon is an 11-day reading marathon and fundraiser for Julia Green. Its goal is to encourage a love of reading! To participate, students are asked to read as many books as possible as well as encourage sponsorships from family and friends. Students record books they have read in logs which are provided. They can reach different “club” levels based on time spent reading and qualify for fun raffle prizes. Parents are asked to encourage their children to read as well as to sign off on each book their child reads throughout the read-a-thon. We see children make tremendous progress in this short period due to the intense focus on reading!
