The Read-a-thon is coming! The Read-a-thon is coming!



Get ready to read—the Crocker Farm Summer Read-a-thon is here! The Crocker Farm Summer Read-a-thon is fun, educational, and raises money for the school library. Kids find sponsors for their reading and keep a list of the books they read over the summer. If a child is unable to find a sponsor, the librarian will help find sponsors for them. Participants who turn in their book lists and money in the fall receive prizes for their efforts. The Read-a-thon helps kids keep their minds active over summer vacation. And, as an extra incentive, the grade with the most participants will also get to celebrate with a pizza party!

Keep your eye out for the Read-a-thon permission slips, which will be coming home soon. Folders will be available in the school library starting Monday, June 6. Please send the signed permission slip in to the school with your child by Friday, June 17, so they can receive their Read-a-thon folder from the library. In the fall, your child will receive a reminder to bring in his or her book list and collected pledges.
