Read-A-Thon: NOW  Bagel Bin Day: Saturday Multicultural Night: 2.22.2024

SJLES Read-A-Thon Happening Now

Thank you for making our Cozy Reading Day and Read-A-Thon Fundraiser a success so far!   Would you like to win an all-expense paid trip to Walt Disney Theme Park for your family? We'd love to make that dream come true!

The SJLES 2nd annual Read-a-thon fundraiser is well under way and our Jaguars are reading more than ever! We are getting close to our goals, but haven’t gotten there yet!  Read-a-thon is a reading fundraiser that makes it easy, fun, and rewarding to practice reading at home and at school! There is no required number of books to read, and no specific time requirement. The goal is simply to have fun reading! Family and friends are invited to support students with a one-time donation, anytime through January 26. It takes 2 minutes to sign up right here, or you can use the QR code/Teacher Code from the flyer that was sent home. Your child will earn 15% of all donations that they receive to spend in the prize store. Choose from more than 200 fun prizes! 

As a special bonus, any child who sends 10 text message requests through their dashboard to promote the read-a-thon fundraiser to their friends or family members will be entered into a drawing to win a magical Walt Disney World vacation in Orlando, FL. One lucky winner will be selected each season from all the Read-A-Thons held during that season. Let’s get reading! Questions? Check out our FAQ
