Rice PTA Read-A-Thon 2026
Gunnar W.
Hi family and friends,
This year, I'm participating in our school's Read-A-Thon fundraiser. I love this program because it brings me together with all my friends and family while being encouraged in my reading goals. All the funds raised will go towards much needed items at my school. For example, in the past the money went towards updated sound equipment for the cafetorium, hydration stations, classroom air purifiers, and STEM supplies.
There are lots of fun prizes for reaching my fundraising goals, like getting to silly string my teacher, have a pizza party, and playing on a water slide! And there are rewards for reading, too!
I'm ready to read, and I hope you will show your support by making a donation and encouraging me in my reading journey!
Thank you!

Welcome Parents, Students and Friends to our Read-a-thon!
This year, we are excited to host our 8th Read-a-Thon fundraiser, bringing our students together with family and friends to encourage reading and to build literacy skills. All the funds raised go to support our students and faculty at Rice Elementary. For example, our past Read-A-Thon fundraisers were able to fund the purchase of Hydration Stations, Air Purifiers for every classroom, Playground Features and Sound Equipment for our Cafetorium!
Our 2-week reading adventure will run September 16th-30th.
- Reading sessions will be completed during the school day & recorded by their teacher.
- Donations are not performance based, meaning that students do not have to read a set amount of time to earn. A donation simply says ‘I believe in you.’
- Awesome individual, class and school wide prizes.
- You can also sign up to be a Guest Reader to show your support.
Your involvement in the Read-a-Thon will help your child develop a lasting love of reading. We hope that each of you will participate and show them that you believe in their reading goals. Let the fun and exciting journey begin!
