Pleasant Ridge Montessori is thrilled to be celebrating its 8th annual Read-a-thon! The Read-a-thon has two main goals: the first is to promote good reading habits, and the second is to raise funds to support our unique school.

The Read-a-thon will take place from March 9 through March 15. All students are encouraged to read for some amount of time every single day over this one-week long period. All reading counts! Students will track their reading minutes on their paper reading log envelopes and can either turn that in at the end of the week OR submit their reading minutes online. Supporters, including family and friends, can make cash or check donations (turned in via the reading log envelopes) OR make electronic donations online. Online is preferred this year to keep everything as streamlined as possible!

During this seven-day period, students will be able to earn multiple “reading rewards”. PRM is trying to meet their goals of 100% reading participation, 20,000 minutes read and $10,000 raised!  Support your student(s) by encouraging them to read and log their reading minutes, reading them a favorite story and helping them ask family and/or friends for donations of support. Thank you so much for your continued generosity and support!

Reading Rewards:

  • All students will receive a student-designed 2026 bookmark and swag from our local public library
  • All students who read for ALL 7 consecutive days AND log their reading (online or on their own envelope) will earn a PRM Read-a-thon shirt
  • The classroom with the highest independent participation will earn a class pizza party with Principal Simpson! 
  • The three students from each age group- 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 who log the most reading minutes will earn a gift card to a local business and a voucher to shop for a new, free book from our local library. 
  • As a new prize for this year, Urban Air has donated an Ultimate Prize pack for our top reader! The student who reads the most minutes will win an Ultimate Prize Pack for 4 including 4 ultimate passes and 4 pairs of socks.
