READ -A-THON

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.
Dr.Seuss


Get ready for the 7th annual Read-A-Thon fundraiser!!!

On Wednesday February 24, 2010, all of the children will have the opportunity to read for 2 hours (120 minutes) for the read-a-thon. Our goal is to have every student with .20 per minute pledged. The pledges need to be for all of the minutes that will be read. For example:

.05 a minute x 120=$6.00
.10 a minute x 120=$12.00
.20 a minute x 120=$24.00
.30 a minute x 120=$36.00

Children may ask parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, aunt, uncles, parent's coworkers , etc for pledges. Please, no door to door!

The prizes are:
School Goal: Wins a family night activity.
Class Awards: The class with the most minutes pledged will get a pizza and ice cream party. The classes who come in second and third will win playground
equipment.

  • 100% of the money donated stays in our school
  • No selling or delivering
  • Help support field trips and other PTA programs
It is as easy as 1-2-3!
  1. Get pledges and fill out the pledge card!
  2. Collect money when sponsors pledge.
  3. Return your money collected and your pledge card to your teacher on Wednesday February 24, 2010. Checks collected can be made out to Overlake PTA.
