18th Annual Read-A-Thon (Details and Online Donations)
It’s Time for
The 18th Annual Read-A-Thon!
Students warm up with a good book during the cold days of winter
to raise money to support field trips and school activities.
Help us beat last year’s FUNDRAISING record of $6,931.94!
Over $1,600 of the funds were allocated to purchase most popular books selected
by the Jacobs Elementary School and Memorial Middle School libraries!
Here’s how it works…
WHO
Hull students at the Jacobs Elementary School & Pirates Academy PreK-5
WHAT
Every student is engaged in literacy as much as they can! READ books, magazines, and newspapers! Listen to audio books or sit with a grown-up or older sibling while they read aloud!
Each student will receive a Read-A-Thon pledge sheet to bring home and begin collecting pledges. We encourage students to get pledges from relatives and neighbors. Sponsors may pledge an amount for each minute read (ex. $.25 per minute) or a flat amount for participation in the Read-A-Thon (ex. $25).
Checks should be made payable to Hull PTO - Create a Personalized Fundraising Page at app.99pledges.com/fund/hullpto

WHY
The Read-A-Thon is the Hull PTO’s largest and most successful fundraiser. 100% of Read-A-Thon profits are used to fund field trips, cultural enrichment programs, and other activities to enhance the quality of education to all PreK-12 Hull students.
