All School Read-a-thon: February 15 - March 1

The Read-a-thon will run from February 14th through March 1st, 

Including a long weekend to get plenty of reading in! 

This is one of the Parent Club’s biggest fundraisers and we need your help!  A flier went home last week in your child's Friday folder with information on how to register and how to share with family and friends to get sponsors. 

 

New this year: we are having a bookmark making contest! A blank bookmark will go home in this week’s Friday folder for your child to create a design having to do with the love of reading. 

All prize winners will be announced at the Monday morning Assembly after the Read-a-thon!

READ-A-THON RULES 

  1. For the CSS Read-a-thon, students (or parents) will record the number of minutes spent reading each day on the CSS Read-a-thon online log.This is purely an honor system and we are relying on students and families to accurately and fairly record minutes spent reading! 

  2. Students will win prizes based on various criteria: participation, number of sponsors and number of minutes read. 

  3. Teachers' reading to students during Cold Spring School class time DOES NOT count. Reading books aloud to students does count and those minutes can be recorded daily. 

  4. Books on tape, audio books or read-aloud videos of books DO NOT count. 

  5. All books count, including picture books, learn to read books, graphic novels, comic books, novels, nonfiction and more!
