IT'S TIME TO READ!
Starting February 27 at 3:00 PM, our PreK 3–8th grade students are invited to jump into an exciting reading adventure — all while raising funds for our school scholarship program! You can register and start raising funds today!
This is a fantastic way to celebrate Read Across America Week, grow our love of reading, and make a real difference in our school community.
The more our students read, the more they can earn! Participants can collect pledges and compete for fun individual and class prizes. Let’s turn pages, set goals, and make this our best Read-A-Thon yet!
Ready to begin? Follow the steps below and start reading!
Step 1.
Register your student(s) in PledgeStar
For our Read a Thon this year, we're using a web based system that makes it much easier for you to request pledges from your family and friends, and for them to make secure credit card donations online. It's fun, it's easy, and people who use it typically raise twice as much as those who don't!
The Read a Thon is February 27th - March 3rd, 2026, so please register now to help our school raise as much as we can for our school.

**Please note: Even if you are registered, Reading Logs will not open and viewable until 2/27 at 3pm, and will close 3/6 at 8:30am. However, fund raising can begin right away.
Step 2.
SET A DAILY READING GOAL
Students set a daily reading goal for the 9 day period. All reading outside of school counts, whether your child is reading or being read to. In-school reading will be recorded by the teachers.
Step 3.
SECURE SPONSERS - START TODAY!
Students share their reading goals with family, friends, and neighbors and ask for a flat donation to support their efforts! We are encouraging each student to try to raise at least $100 or ask 10 people for donations.
Students must be registered on the PledgeStar Read A Thon site in order to accept online donations. If you do not register your student, friends and family will not be able to donate online. Once registered you will be prompted to send out emails and/or texts to family and friends to solicit sponsorships. Each family will have their own unique fundraising page,
Sponsors can alternatively write checks, or give cash donations. All checks and cash should be brought, or mailed to the school office clearly marked with the students first and last names.
Step 4.
Check Out Prizes & Dress Up Days
Prizes can be motivating to our readers. Check out what they can win below. Also, students are invited to participate in dress up days. View the schedule below.
Step 5.
TRACK READING TIME
Read! Read! Read! All minutes read will be tracked in PledgeStar starting Friday February 27th at 3pm, and concluding Friday March 6th at 8:30am. After you have registered your reader, you can track their reading minutes each day in the "Enter Readers" section. Teachers will enter time read during school hours, parents will need to enter time read outside of school.
Click on the image of a book next to your student's name, make sure the date is correct, simply type in how many minutes they read then click "add".
PledgeStar will keep a running total for each student participating. You can check your child's minutes at any time by logging in to your account. Parents are expected to enter reading hours done outside of school.
**Please note: Even if you are registered, Reading Logs will not open and viewable until 2/27 at 3pm, and will close 3/6 at 8:30am. However, fund raising can begin right away.
