Read-A-Thon FAQs
What are the dates of the Read-a-Thon? October 1 - 31, 2022
How does it work?
During the month of October, students use the Reading Log to record minutes they read while collecting donations from family and friends to support their efforts. The goal is for each student to read at least 20 minutes every day and raise at least $100 each.
What reading counts?
Any time you spend reading counts. Students who are not reading independently should include the minutes they are read to by an adult. Audio books do count.

How do I collect donations?
Read-a-Thon is online this year: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/ossread2022

Are donations per minute or a flat amount?
Donations will be a flat amount, not a per minute pledge.
What about cash/checks?

Is fundraising required?
No. Fundraising is encouraged, but it is not required to participate.
