Our 3rd Grade Read-a-Thon has quickly become one of the most exciting after-school activities of the year! Designed to foster a love of reading, the Read-a-Thon gives students a chance to relax, explore new stories, and spend time with friends in a fun and comfortable setting.

Students enjoy choosing their own books, discovering new genres, and sharing favorite stories with classmates and teachers. With snacks, prizes, and treasure box rewards, each Read-a-Thon feels like a celebration of reading. Students even take Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes to earn points toward special AR prizes!

Each time we host the Read-a-Thon, more students join in, drawn by the excitement and joy it brings. The enthusiasm is contagious, students are already asking when the next one will be! The event takes place each quarter, with a special final Read-a-Thon held during the school day so that every student has the chance to participate.

The 3rd Grade Read-a-Thon is truly helping our students build strong reading skills, confidence, and most importantly a lifelong love of reading.
