There’s No Place Like Home Read-a-Thon

The Amherst PTA would like you to help students follow the yellow brick road to reading in a fun way while raising funds to support enrichment assemblies, grants and community events.

Now, let the rejoicing resume as the time is upon us for the annual Clark-Wilkins Read-a-Thon Monday, February 20th through Sunday, March 12th. This allows your cast of characters extra time to pursue their reading quest during Winter Recess. That’s a dream come true for the entire Clark-Wilkins cast!

Attached you will find:  Read-a-Thon Rules Outlines the official Read-a-Thon rules. Please be honest so that it will be fair and fun for everyone!  Prize Sheet The more your student reads, the more they earn. The more pledges they collect, the more they earn.  Tally Sheet Use this to track the minutes they read throughout the Read-a-Thon.
