WHAT IS THE READ-A-THON?
The Roosevelt Read-A-Thon is a fun, optional event designed to support our school. It's our second biggest fundraiser of the year, so every reading minute supports our school! Last year we raised over $16,000! Let’s see what we can accomplish this year!
PLEDGE WEEK: WHAT TO DO
