Our Goals:
1. READ EVERY DAY — minimum 15 minutes (outside of school hours)
2. COLLECT at least $25 (on average per student)
4 Steps to Our Read-A-Thon:
1. Get Sponsors. Ask your family, friends and neighbors to pledge a certain amount of money for every minute you read or for a set amount. Fill in your sponsors’ names and pledges on the pledge sheet on the back of this page. Contact only people you know to sponsor your reading.
2. READ! All reading counts, whether you are reading by yourself, reading to someone else, or having someone read to you. Reading time during school DOES NOT COUNT. Read AS MUCH AS YOU CAN before or after school. Track your minutes and record them on the TRACK YOUR READING TIME sheet.
3. Tally On Sunday, October 25th tally up your Total Minutes Read and calculate the TOTAL DUE for each sponsor. Submit your tracking form to your teacher on MONDAY, OCTOBER 26TH.
4. Collect From Monday, October 26 to Monday, November
2 collect the money from your sponsors. Checks should be made payable to ROGERS/BINFORD. Pledges are 100% tax deductible. Receipts available.
