2020 Read-a-thon
The Ballast Point Elementary PTA is hosting their first annual FUNdraiser and Read-A-Thon!
WHAT IS A READ-A-THON?
We decided to do a Read-a-thon this year instead of our annual Bulldog Bash (typically one of the two PTA school fundraisers) to include ALL students (e-learning and B&M), safely and respectfully. However, while this is a school fundraiser, the Read-a-thon’s sole purpose is to encourage students to instill a love for reading.
WHY?
The PTA leverages parental and community support through fundraising activities every year to raise money for our school. Our Read-a-thon goal is $10,000 which is very doable. If each student collects $25, we could exceed it!
Students will be rewarded with PRIZES for their reading levels. Feel free to ask extended family, friends and neighbors about donating toward this school fundraiser. Note that 100% of the funds raised will go back to our school and help support our students and their education.
WHEN SHOULD I START?
TODAY! Starting today, Friday, October 30th, we are asking students and their families to start tracking minutes read, to help raise money for our school. These funds will go toward purchasing computers and projectors for our classrooms.
Share the donation link https://app.memberhub.gives/bperead20 and/or ask family members, friends and neighbors to make a donation in cash* or check* payable to Ballast Point Elementary PTA or text ‘BPERead20’ to (919) 626-3277.
Our Bulldogs are big readers so we encourage a One-Time Contribution. You can also do a per-minute incentive - watch out for these achievers!
*Please return all donations in a sealed envelope or ziplock bag with your child’s name, teacher and grade on it by Monday, November 29th.
EYES ON THE PRIZE!!! Students and Top Reading Classes will be rewarded with prizes based on the total hours read.
