Carlisle Elementary PTA ~ 2016 Read-A-Thon

March 24 - April 7

 

What is the Read-A-Thon?

The Read-A-Thon is a fundraiser that challenges students to use their most important academic skill ~ reading ~ to directly support their school.  

The best part of the Read-A-Thon is that 100% of the money collected will be used at our school for our children! With this fundraiser, we are hoping to raise $8,000 to be used for many different school expenses such as field trips, student planners for next year, and supplies for each grade level…to name just a few! The more we raise, the more we can purchase for the school.  We would love to purchase more iPads, we have purchased 2 for each grade level this year—and our goal is 2 per classroom! We can get there with just an average of $20 a student.

How does Read-A-Thon work?

  • Students set a reading goal (hours or minutes/day) for the reading period, 3/24-4/7.
  • Students solicit sponsors to support their goal.
    • We are excited to continue with our online fundraising via The Original Get Movin Crew! 

Follow the Link to register your student and share the page with friends and family.  If you registered in the fall, login with the same account and then follow the prompts to re-register your child for the Read-A-Thon fundraiser

All Students who register online and turn in a reading log will receive a Coyote Pride Bracelet the week following the Read-A-Thon

    • Reading Logs have been sent home with the students.
  • Students and parents record minutes and any additional funds.
  • April 8th - Return your Reading Log, and any additional monies raised to the Carlisle PTA Mailbox by the main entraance. Make sure your students name, teacher and grade level are on the envelope.
