ST. JOSEPH READ-A-THON FUNDRAISER

It’s Back!  Dust off your favourite books and get ready to read in support of our school.

All students are encouraged to participate in order to make this a fun and profitable fundraiser!
100% of the proceeds go directly to the school!

Rules: 

  1. Pledge Forms must be used to track your sponsors and how much they have pledged.
  2. Donations can be made as a flat amount or on a per minute basis.
  3. Record your reading minutes each day on the calendar provided. 
  4. Parents must initial the calendar every day to confirm that their child reads all of  their logged minutes in order for the minutes to count. This will ensure fairness.
  5. NO guessing minutes: please look at a clock or use a stop watch. 
  6. Pledges: Students are encouraged to get as many pledges at they can.
  7. Safety: Collect pledges from people you know. THANK THEM!  DO NOT ASK STRANGERS!
