Dear SAES Reader and Parents,
We are having our fifth annual Read-A-Thon contest to make reading even more fun and exciting! It's really easy to do. Every time you read to someone, that listener will pledge a donation and initial on the pledge form. You will then write out a receipt to your sponsor when you collect the pledge money.
The class that raises the most money will get to house the Readthon Rockstar Trophy for a whole year until the next Readathon. We will also try to get PIC waterpark passes. Other prizes also include BestSeller Bookstore gift certificates, medals, and certificates from the school. We will also have an individual incentive for the student in each class who collects the most amount of pledge money. However, the best prize is that you get to practice reading and to improve your read aloud skills and help raise money for the school.
Once again we will be raising money to support school level reading programs and activities such as buying the Reader-of-the-Month medals. All you have to do is find sponsors. They can befriends or family members who will agree to donate any amount and listen to you read. You can have as many sponsors as you want.
