The Read-A-Thon has two goals:
1. Get kids excited about daily reading
2. Raise money for Holy Family School. The money raised from last year’s fundraisers was used to purchase a washer and dryer, chrome books and covid friendly musical instruments, helping families in need in our community, and much more.
Please help to make our Read-A-Thon a success by helping your child set a reading goal then asking family and friends for sponsorship.
To get started, please go to holyfamilyreads.ca and set up your child’s online Read-A-Thon account. The Read-a-Thon website is being generously hosted by Nathan at Davies Technologies. Log into your child's account to record daily reading minutes, collect online donations and enter to win prizes. The following are brief ‘how to videos’ to help you navigate the digital Read-a-Thon.
