Marion Elementary School Read-A-Thon

Marion Elementary School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year! We hope the Read-A-Thon gets your student excited about reading and allows friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, February 17, 2025. About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking this news link and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
