2023 Read-A-Thon information

March 22, 2023 Read-A-Thon UPDATE:
😊 The 2023 Read-A-Thon has ended and the post-Read-A-Thon fun is underway!
😊 Thank you to all teachers, students, families, friends who participated and supported this FUNdraiser!
😊 We have tallied almost all of the reading minutes. We are working on collecting some final materials and tying up a few loose ends. Once that is done, we will hold our prize drawing so that we can get those prizes and participation prizes out to students!
😊 We will also contact all pledged donors by email, as well as distributing paper pledge letters to each student who submitted a pledge form listing their donors and total amounts. These communications will include instructions for how to submit pledges to the PTA.
😊 Thank you for your participation and patience!
Didn't see the intro letter yet? Here is is!

Hello Ridgecrest families!

The PTA Read-A-Thon is coming back to Ridgecrest and will take place Monday February 13 – Friday March 3! A paper packet went home with all students during the week of January 30th.

  • All of the materials in that packet are available below as PDFs, so feel free   to download them if you missed or lost the packet!
  • We are also posting a PDF of the handy bookmarks students will be using to tally their reading minutes, so you can print them (double sided) from the grade-appropriate document below if you need more.

Here is a list of important dates for this year’s Read-A-Thon!

  • Week of January 30: Paper info packets go home with all students.
  • When you receive the packet through Friday February 17: set a reading goal and work on getting pledges!
  • Monday February 13: First day of the Read-A-Thon! Start reading and tallying minutes!
  • Friday February 17: Pledge forms due to teachers
  • Monday February 20 – Friday February 24: Mid-winter break. Read, read, read, Rams!
  • Friday March 3: Last day of the Read-A-Thon! Finish tallying minutes and add them up at the bottom of each bookmark!
  • Wednesday March 8: All reading minute bookmarks due to teachers.
  • Monday March 20: Prize drawing (tentative, depends on how many reading minutes are still out there waiting to be turned in)! Prizes will be distributed later this same week, including a fun participation prize for every student who turns in any reading minutes!
