The PTO's LARGEST and most IMPORTANT fundraiser of the year, February 23rd - March 6th, 2026.

But Read-a-Thon isn’t just a fundraiser for ongoing PTO programs and future school improvements; it’s a week long reading celebration where all students will:

1- READ 📚(set reading goals and then read books that bring joy),
2- LAUGH 😂 (enjoy silly spirit days and track reading minutes at home & school),
3- SOAR (earn prizes and end the week with a school wide celebration).

In the end, everyone wins because the whole school benefits!

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Alexander Wilson Elementary is a school where student learning thrives because our parents, caregivers, and community are INVOLVED. We know this is because of our incredible students and because our AWEsome staff believe that relationships with students and families are key to optimal learning.

We could not engage in the wonderful learning opportunities and the fun things we do at AWE without your monetary support. Please know that no amount is too small.

Help us reach $20,000!

WHAT WILL THE MONEY BE USED FOR?

The first $5,000 will go towards our annual CLASSROOM CARE & SUPPLY PROGRAM. To fill the gaps in classroom needs, we supply each certified teacher with a $100 gift card.

Funds raised over $5,000, with a goal of $15,000, will go towards our RENEW A ROOM PROGRAM, giving our 100 year old school the TLC it needs. We're excited to announce this years Renew A Room funds will go towards...the 📚📚📚SCHOOL LIBRARY📚📚📚!
