SJLES Read-A-Thon In Progress

Our 2nd annual school Read-A-Thon began Yesterday, Monday January 8, 2024 and is sure to be a fun and exciting event!  This was one of our biggest fundraisers of the year last year and we hope to make it just as successful in 2024.

 

We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.

 

This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:

Thank you so much for your participation and support. Together, we can make this Read-A-Thon an amazing experience for our young readers while supporting the school and funding fun PTA-sponsored events! Thank you from the SJLES PTA! 

In addition, THANK YOU to all the lovely volunteers, teachers and administrators who made the 2nd Annual Cozy Reading Day at SJLES a huge success.  You all are the best!
