The Mantua Elementary School PTA is hosting its fifth annual Read-a-Thon from Monday, February 23rd through Friday, March 6th. Please use this personal page to ask for donations and track your minutes. We recommend setting a goal of 200 minutes over the 2 weeks!

What counts as reading minutes? Everyone reads at a different level, so pretty much anything counts! If your teacher reads to you, count those minutes. If a parent reads to you, count those minutes. Books can be chapter books, picture books, audiobooks, or graphic novels--anything that is a book and encourages reading and exploration!

Be sure to log minutes daily so you can track progress. It only takes a few seconds a day. Even if you don't collect donations, you can still track your minutes on your page. It's EASY! Minutes must be recorded in 99Pledges tracker no later than Saturday, March 7th to be eligible for prizes.

What prizes are available?

Grades will be divided between Pre-K-3 and 4-6. The class that reads the most (total minutes) in those groupings will receive a $150 Gift Card for purchasing and replenishing books in the classroom!

The class in each grade (Pre-K-6) who reads the most minutes total will receive a CLASSROOM PARTY! – sponsored by Cynthia Cliff, local author
