Read-A-Thon 2024
What is the Read-A-Thon?
The Read-A-Thon is our annual program sponsored by the CPES PTA. We want to encourage all our children to read more and fall in love with reading.
When is the Read-A-Thon?

Announcing results from Read-A-Thon 2024!

How does it work?
From March 1-17, 2024:
- Students read and keep track of their minutes on the included Reading Log, (and yes, reading with/to your children counts).
- Students, with an adult’s help, should look for sponsors to pledge a set amount per minute/day, or a flat amount.
- Adults should encourage children to read more. (You can keep doing this even after Read-A-Thon is over!)
From March 18-22, 2024:
- Students collect pledges and complete their Reading Logs
- Students return their Read-A-Thon packets (envelope, reading log, pledges) to their teacher
- Cash or Check Pledges or Donations may be sent to school in the Reading Log envelope; or
- Pledges may be paid by credit card using this Read-A-Thon form. Don't forget to send in those Reading Logs.
Are there Rewards? You Bet!
- Every student who submits a reading log (including those without pledges) will receive at least $5 in Book Bucks to spend at the Spring Book Fair
- Prizes for the classes and students who read the most minutes:
-
Top individual readers, by grade, will receive a special movie night.
-
Top readers in grades K-3 have a chance to win a Max Meow backpack, or stuffie. Students in grades 4-6 have a chance to win a signed drawing from Jon Gallagher, author of Max Meow.
-
The class that reads the most minutes will receive a special recess.
-
Since this is a fundraiser, where does the money go?
- 100% of funds raised go back into our school!
- Author visits
- Books and other technology for the library and classrooms
- Other ways the PTA supports the school, including field trips and teacher appreciation
We’re certain that with your help, this will be the most successful Read-A-Thon yet! Please contact readathon@cpes-pta.org with questions.
