What is the Clark Elementary Read-a-Thon about? Our school's PTA funds many activities and programs at Clark! These include classroom supplies, the art program, field trips, grants, assemblies, yearbook, and staff appreciation. We also host community events that take volunteers and money to put on. All of these programs are funded by the 3 fundraisers we do all year, and the read-a-thon is one of those.
The student who reads the most minutes and the student who raises the most money** get a pizza party for their entire classroom! There will also be multiple drawings for special prizes throughout the Read-a-Thon. And if a student reads 100 minutes and turns in their tracker by 10/6, they get a coupon for a free book at the book fair (Oct 24 thru 27th)!
We live in an amazing area, and as a title one school, we want to make sure all students have access to all programs and events, as supporting the whole child at Clark is our mission. Funds raised in the Read-a-Thon go to all these various programs and events.
***The leaderboard on Mightycause does not include those that send cash/checks directly to the PTA, only the total of what is raised through Mightycause. PTA will share the winners after the Read-a-Thon concludes. Also, if you want multiple students from the same household to share a page, the total raised will be split evenly between those students in calculating the classroom & student totals.
