Read - a - Thon
Pack Your Books & Pitch a Tent — It’s Read-A-Thon Time!
Join us for our annual San Rafael Elementary CAMP READ S’MORE (camp read some more) Read-A-Thon, happening January 26 through February 6.
We’re setting out on a reading adventure with a fundraising goal of $35,000, As we face budget cuts, your support is more important than ever. 100% of donations go directly to our school and teachers, making this our biggest fundraiser of the year.
Every dollar raised helps equip our students with the tools they need to thrive—both in and out of the classroom.
🌲 Here’s how our reading adventure works:
• Camp supporters (donors) fuel the journey
• Students read their way through the wilderness of books
• San Rafael Elementary PTA gathers vital funds for our school
Our goal is 100% family participation—every contribution, big or small, helps keep the campfire glowing. Whether you donate, share our fundraiser, or cheer on our young readers from basecamp, your support makes a meaningful impact.
Thank you for being part of our school community and for helping our students blaze new trails through reading!
