November 7-18, 2016 Your child should have received a letter telling you how to sign up for the Read-A-Thon, along with how to ask for donations. All students that set up their Read-A-Thon webpage will get a prize. The more donations your child gets the more prizes they will receive. The person that raises the most money will receive a $25.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble, along with a $25.00 gift card to Meteor Hamburgers in Wylie. You can take cash donations also. Place the money in an envelope with Read-A-Thon written on it along with your child's name and teacher’s name. Reading for the Read-A-Thon will take place during school hours, November 7-18, 2016.
