Families,

We are excited to share on behalf of our Parent Council their ‘Sponsored READ-A-THON Challenge’ to celebrate World Book Day (Thursday 2 March), promote reading in school and at home and raise funds for new library/topic books for our young people.

Our Pupil Council and RRS Ambassadors will chat with their classes and pupil voice will inform what books are purchased.

What do you need to do?

Starting from today (03.02.23) for the next four weeks until World Book Day (02.03.23) we want to see how many books/pages our young people can read independently or together with family members as a happy, shared experience.

Families are invited to set a book reading target and kindly request sponsorship from family and friends to contribute towards the £20.23 target each class within the school have been set to raise by the PC. Any contribution towards this whole class target is appreciated.

Keep a note at home of the book titles and how many pages you have read and our ‘READ-A-THON Online Form’ will be sent at the end of the month for you to complete. In school reading will be noted by staff/pupils and added to overall totals. Prizes await the top overall class and top reader!

Funds raised can be paid via ParentPay or handed in to the school office. 

Participation and sponsorship is optional. 

Our Parent Council share their thanks and hope you enjoy quality reading time with your family. We can’t wait to follow your READ-A-THON journey!
