📚🎉 Get Ready, Mitchell Families… It’s Read-A-Thon Time! 🎉📚

We’re trying something new to keep our students reading, beat the Spring Fever slump, and maybe even raise a little money for our school (bonus!).

Mitchell Elementary is launching a Read-A-Thon starting Monday, March 2nd (Read Across America Day) and continuing through the month of March!

Here’s how it works:
✅ Students log 20 minutes of reading per night, 4 nights a week
✅ They can earn prizes just for reading!
✅ Families must register their child to participate

The main goal? Reading, reading, and more reading! The fundraising part is a fun bonus — but this month is all about getting our kids excited about books.

Information and registration links go home with students on Monday, March 2nd. Let’s make March a month full of books, fun, and maybe a little friendly competition!

📖💫 Ready… set… READ!
