November 3 - December 5, 2025
We are kicking off the month of November to celebrate literacy with our 6th annual Orion Read-A-Thon!
During this exciting 5 week journey, we encourage all students to read daily and track their reading minutes each week. Engage your student by reading them a favorite story, motivating them to log their reading time, and inviting family and friends to support their efforts with donations.
As students read and fundraise, they’ll have the opportunity to earn fantastic prizes! Compete with friends to reach reading milestones and fundraising targets. Plus, classes can join in the fun for a chance to win prizes for the entire group, so let’s rally together and encourage everyone to participate!
Our goal is to achieve 100% reading participation and raise $38,000 for our school! Every student can play a vital role in making a difference. Let’s embrace the cozy fall weather, snuggle up with great books, and let the reading adventure begin!
