The Read-a-thon kicks off November 1, which means swarms of eager readers may approach you or your business in the coming weeks armed with adorable smiles, reading logs and a “read, record, collect” mantra. So let us arm you with some basic knowledge as to how this all works, fortunately it’s quite simple. Residents and businesses you can support the school in two ways:
- Sponsoring a child’s reading goals: the students will collect pledge money from their sponsors at the end of the challenge (checks should be made payable to “MESA”)
- by sending a donation to the Middlebury Elementary School Association (MESA) directly checks should be made payable to “MESA” and sent to: Mary Hogan School 201 Mary Hogan Drive, Middlebury, VT 05753
Last year the 5th grade class created this cute video to kick off the read-a-thon.
Your donation to Middlebury Elementary School Association (MESA) supports student rewards, author visits, and other Read-a-Thon activities, as well as MESA’s mission of providing Mary Hogan students and teachers with the materials and experiences they need for a successful academic year. Thank you for supporting the education and enrichment of our local students!
