READ-A-THON
From Monday 24 May
Maungaraki School will be running a fundraising read-a-thon from Monday 24 May 2021 to Friday 11 June 2021.
All money raised will go towards our new bike track, school beautification projects and much needed classroom resources and equipment.
Each child will receive a reading passport where they will record the titles and authors of books they have read over the four weeks. We are looking for support from family and friends to pledge amounts per 10 minutes read or make donations.
The read-a-thon will look different for every child depending on their age and reading abilities. A reading entry may be a parent reading a book and talking about the characters and stories to young beginning readers, or 10 minutes of reading a chapter book for confident readers. Children should do a reading activity that they are capable of.
Each syndicate will have some amazing prizes for the children who have read the most books. There will also be spot prizes for full reading passports returned to school with money. Some of the prizes include Lego kits, a drone, wireless earphones, Staglands voucher, books, games and much more! The class who raises the most money for our school will receive a special prize too.
Children may complete more than one reading passport which they can collect at the office. We appreciate parents' support and generosity with our fundraising.
