Hey Teves Read-A-Thon Launched!
ULYOP PTA Hey Teves Read-A-Thon What is the Read-a-thon? The Read-a-thon will be our largest Fundraiser of the year. Participants earn money by reading, logging minutes read and gathering pledges . Participants will set a reading goal and will have the designated days above to reach their goal. Participants get pledges from family, friends, neighbors and businesses to support their efforts. Donors can either pledge a certain amount of money per minute read or make a flat donation. How do I get Pledges? Ask friends and family! What is our goal? Our #1 goal is to make sure ALL students end the event with a stronger desire to learn Torah, read and a richer knowledge of how the skill of reading affects all aspects of their lives. Reading: We have a school wide goal to read 20k minutes!! If every student reads 20 minutes a day we will reach our goal in a week!! Pledging: We hope to collect $2000 in pledges. If every student collects $20, we will reach this goal. What happens if we reach our goal? We will have funds to build our reading library at the yeshiva. Rules for Readers 1.
