2009 Stevenson Read-A-Thon
Your school needs you!
We’re calling on all our Stevenson Pirates to join our 2009 Read-a-thon.
The read-a-thon is a great way to keep your child reading this summer while raising much needed funds for the our school library.
So how do you get started?
First of all, ask your family and everyone you know to pledge a dollar for every book your child reads this summer. Alternatively pledgers can opt for a flat fee pledge. Then all that’s left to do is get reading!
It’s a fun way to really make a difference for the school. All the money raised will help fund the position of our librarian which is under threat from state budget cuts.
Our incoming Kindergarteners are more than welcome to join in too!
Prizes will be awarded to the top readers from each grade who read the most books as well as the three readers who bring in the most money.
So Moms, Dads and Kids, let’s get reading!
See what Stevenson kids are doing to get the word out:
- Second grader Autry Jesperson seeks higher dollar per book pledges as he dives into Harry Potter.
- One year old Darcey Boo supports her sister, First Grader Madeline Simpson by pledging $3.
- Second grader Wyatt Wheeler, launches blog to reach out of state relatives and keep them informed of his progress throughout the summer. Read more>>

I have a twitter account so that all my family/pledgers in England can keep track of my reading progress. Check it out at http://twitter.com/maddie_reads
