Read-a-Thon

Please save the dates for this year’s Read-a-thon, March 7-16.

Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy is almost ready to kick off the 2023 Read-a-thon! 

What IS Read-a-thon? First and foremost, it’s a Celebration of Reading! For 10 days, students will be encouraged to read! ALL reading counts: books they read, books students had read to them, comic books, reading for school, reading for fun…. All of it! 

Secondly, in order to support the school’s financial needs, Read-a-thon is also a fundraiser (though raising funds is NOT required to participate).  Information is below on how to encourage your friends and family to support your student’s reading by “sponsoring” them.

Finally, Read-a-thon gives students the opportunity to SET a goal, and then WORK toward that goal. All students who meet or beat their goals will receive special recognition. 

More information will be coming from your room parents, or you can check out the student handout here.
