Most schools across the country are at or over capacity, short on funds, and are struggling to get their students to master crucial academic milestones. It’s safe to say that all educators agree that cultivating a love of reading in their students is crucial, yet many wrestle with the ‘how.’ Enter, Read-a-thon -- an online school fundraising platform that allows schools to raise money through donations by encouraging students to read. The concept is simple: Sign up for free, get kids reading, and raise more funds for your school. Professional educators like librarians, school administrators, teachers, and support staff love Read-a-thon fundraisers because they align with their literacy goals, don’t require any money upfront or fundraising minimums, and are so easy to promote and implement -- not to mention that they help schools raise thousands of dollars!
