Welcome to the Monkton Central School Read-a-thon blog!

It's that time again for our Spring fundraiser!  We loved all the enthusiastic participation of our students in our last five Read-a-thons and the support of our school and local community, that we are excited to do it again.  This year, our read-a-thon theme is "Reading is a Winning Strategy!"  Students will be looking for sponsors to pledge money for the minutes they will read beginning Friday, February 15th and will start their month long reading challenge from March 1-29th.

This blogsite is a way for students and parents to get more information (see the "About" and "Forms" tabs) as well as a well for all family, friends, community members, parents and students to see our journey through books. We will be posting our classroom tallies, photos from special events like the author visit, as well as encouragement for students to keep on reading!

If you would like to Sponsor a child and pledge money towards the Read-a-Thon, please let your child's classroom teacher or Holly Esterline, school librarian, know. If you are a community member and would like to Sponsor a child who might be in need of a Sponsor, please email Anna Lester at alester@smcvt.edu.

We look forward to this important fundraiser that also is a celebration of reading!
