The read-A-Thon is a 4 week program that gets the kids reading as well as gathering sponsors for how many pages they read. The money raised will support a variety of programs at the school. The goal school wide is to read 4 thousand pages. and, If the students reach the goal the parent teacher club will put on a Carnival day for the children..
