About this fundraiser:
Hunking’s first ever Read-a-Thon is meant to promote literacy, celebrate the joy of reading (for all ages and reading levels), and to raise money for ongoing PTO programming (specifically learning experiences and future on- and off-site field trips) for our school!
Research shows that reading 20 minutes a day expands vocabulary, general knowledge, critical thinking skills, and writing. It can also boost mental health by decreasing stress and improving sleep! The goal is to read (or be read to) for at least 20 minutes each day from April 1st until April 24th (including April vacation). We rounded up and are hoping participants read for at least 500 minutes during the 3-week timeframe.
Register your child and help them track and enter their minutes during the Read-A-Thon. Help raise funds for Hunking by sharing your child’s Read-A-Thon page with friends and family to collect donations and/or per-minute pledges.
Registration is completely free and we hope ALL STUDENTS will participate. Even if you don't collect pledges (this part is optional), encourage your child to READ, READ, READ! All of the minutes that they read will count toward their classroom’s total minutes and help them win a special prize!
100% of donations will go to the Hunking PTO and will be used to pay for field trips, buses and enrichment activities for students in grades K-8. Please know that no amount is too small! Thank you for your generosity… and happy reading!
Your donations will help pay for:
- Learning Experiences (in-school)
- Future Field Trips (including bussing)
Hi Andrew, I hope to hear you reading aloud sometime! --Gaba
