New Community Information PJ Day - December 19 is our Read-a-thon kick-off and PJ Day! We encourage students to wear their PJs to school and bring a book to read during the day. We will start the Read-a-thon with a fun day of reading before the winter break. Read-A-Thon 2025 is here, and we’re making it a fun, creative way for students to keep reading over winter break! Our goal is for students to read at least once a day during the 19 days of break. Each student will bring home a Read-A-Thon game board with 19 snowflakes spread across different icebergs. There are 19 reading challenges that match those snowflakes. Students choose one reading challenge at a time from the list. After they complete that challenge, they write its number on a snowflake on the iceberg they’re “exploring.” No double-dipping: one challenge = one snowflake. Challenges can be repeated, so kids can stick with their favorites or try something new each day. Read-A-Thon is also a fundraiser for the Edison PTA. Families and friends can support students’ reading by making either a flat donation or a pledge based on the number of challenges completed. All funds go directly back into Edison’s reading program—supporting new classroom and library books, reading subscriptions, and resources that help keep reading fun and current for all of our students. If you are worried about losing the board, take a quick photo with your phone and tuck it away until we get back to school! There are prizes earned throughout the game, and one class in each grade that completes the most reading challenges over break will earn a class party!! Also, here are links the board in case you lose them:
