Hi, Friends!
I’ve chosen to join in a Read-A-Thon reading race to support the science program at my school, Ad Fontes Academy!
From February 26 - March 7, I will race alongside my classmates, and schoolmates, to read the most minutes we possibly can. Together, we want to read 125,000 minutes! To help my school break our record, my goal is to read (or be read to) 300 total minutes during the race. I might do more!
Right now I'm very excited about sharks, I love Mo Willems books and I'm working on reading so many words by myself!
Would you consider supporting me in this race so I can watch my minutes grow and the giving meter move?
Thank you for considering supporting me!
Sincerely,
Joshua
AFA's 2021 Read-a-thon
Instill a love for reading and science!
From February 26 to March 7, our K-6th graders will embark on a Read-a-thon race, where they will read as much as they can in an effort to earn prizes and beat the school-wide goal of 125,000 total minutes.
The Read-a-thon is a greatly anticipated annual event which helps cultivate a love for reading in young students and gives them a fun way to work alongside their peers to exceed goals and build confidence. With a little encouragement from teachers, classmates and supporters like you, it's incredible what children can accomplish!
In addition to forming lifelong readers, your donation will also help to inspire scientific curiosity and exploration! Funds raised toward our $20,000 goal will bolster our lower school science program with new curriculum, supplies and equipment. Any additional funds may be used to strengthen AFA’s growing music and arts program.
Please make sure you respond by the last day of the race (March 7).
Thank you!
