What raises money for our school while helping all the children improve their reading skills? It's Read-a-thon time at Jefferson school starting in January.

Students and teachers choose what they want to read from comics to classics. They ask friends and family to sponsor them per book or per minute of reading. Sponsors can pay online, so you won’t need to collect any money in.
