Dear Friends and Family,

Thanks for checking out my Read-a-Thon page! I’m excited to read a lot and help raise money for my school to support our art and P.E. programs and equity resources for every student at Emerson. I’m going to read as much as I can during the 10-day Read-a-Thon, and I’m asking for pledges to help my school reach our goal. Our schoolwide goal is to read 300,000 minutes and raise $35,000. Will you help by making a pledge?

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement.

About this fundraiser:

The Emerson Read-A-Thon is a schoolwide celebration of reading! We spotlight the power of reading for ten days, providing an opportunity for students and their families to focus on books and read together. Emerson’s 2024 Read-a-Thon kicks off on Friday, March 8th and ends on Sunday, March 17th. This fundraiser is focused on encouraging a love for reading and maximizing participation among all students. Our schoolwide goal is to read 300,000 minutes!

Pledging a flat dollar amount reduces any surprises at the end if your student ends up reading a lot. If you prefer to pledge per minute read, here are some general rules of thumb about how many minutes kids in each grade may read (or be read to!) each day:
• TK = approximately 10 minutes per day
• Kinders = approximately 15 minutes per day
• 1st and 2nd graders = approximately 30 minutes per day
• 3rd graders = approximately 40 minutes per day
• 4th and 5th graders = 60+ minutes per day

While we encourage pledges through this platform, pledges by cash or check are great too! Please include a note with the name and grade of the student you’re sponsoring and mail your payment (checks payable to “Emerson PTA") to:

Emerson Elementary PTA California
Attn: Read-a-Thon

Acerca del Read-a-Thon:

¡El Read-A-Thon de Emerson es una celebración de la lectura en toda la escuela! Durante diez días, promoveremos la lectura, brindando una oportunidad para que los estudiantes y sus familias se concentren en los libros y lean juntos. El Read-a-Thon 2024 de Emerson comienza el viernes 8 de marzo y finaliza el domingo 17 de marzo. Esta recaudación de fondos se enfoca en fomentar el amor por la lectura y maximizar la participación entre todos los estudiantes. ¡Nuestra meta en toda la escuela es leer 300,000 minutos!

Prometer una cantidad fija en dólares reduce las sorpresas al final si su estudiante termina leyendo mucho. Si prefiere comprometerse por minuto leído, aquí damos sugerencias sobre cuántos minutos los niños de cada grado pueden leer (¡o que le lean!) cada día:
• Niños de TK = aproximadamente 10 minutos por día
• Niños de kindergarten = aproximadamente 15 minutos por día
• Estudiantes de 1er y 2do grado = aproximadamente 30 minutos por día
• Estudiantes de tercer grado = aproximadamente 40 minutos por día
• Estudiantes de cuarto y quinto grado = más de 60 minutos por día
