MVEC Ready for School Read-A-Thon

MVEC is challenging all students to read a combined total of 20 000 minutes and raise $2000 for our school for chromebook carts for each classroom!  If each student reads 20 minutes each day AT HOME, and raises $15 each, it will not only prepare students’ to jump back into learning through reading, but also reach our goal!


Students can read to themselves, someone else or have someone read to them. Reading can take many forms: books, magazine, newspapers, digital books such as Tumblebooks, etc.


PLEASE RECORD MINUTES AND RETURN THIS SHEET ON SEPTEMBER 6 or 7th, SO WE CAN TRACK OUR COMBINED PROGRESS!


We ask that you only collect pledges from family and friends; it is not necessary to go door-to-door for pledges. Once money is collected, please submit using SchoolCashOnline (preferred, link on our website) or in a sealed envelope with your child’s FULL name clearly printed on the front.


PRIZES will be awarded for reaching these goals:


25 000 minutes - Campfire reading! (Bring a flashlight, blanket and cuddle up by ‘our fire’…)


50 000 minutes - Camping dress up day! Dress as a nature animal, camper or camp ranger OR


$1000 = Extra recess (15 minutes)!


$1500 = School-wide picnic!


$2000 = School-wide slip and slide!


*Top readers in each class will receive a book!


**Highest reading minutes/class will earn a free pizza lunch!
