Eli's 2020 Read-a-Thon Fundraiser for Burroughs!

Burroughs Read-A-Thon 2020 – The theme for this year’s Read-a-Thon is The Questioners series, including Ada Twist, Scientist; Iggy Peck, Architect; Rose Revere, Engineer; and Sophia Valdez, Future Prez, by author Andrea Beaty.  Read-A-Thon began Saturday, February 1st!  Eli has been recording the number of minutes he read at home and at school all month long.

Throughout the month of February, Eli read a total of 968 minutes at home and 2,160 minutes in school, for a total of 3,128 minutes!!

Students are asking family members and friends for pledges of support to benefit Burroughs Community School. This is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year - last year the community raised over  $90,000 for the Burroughs PTA fund through the Read-a-Thon. The funds collected provide financial support for field trips and for a variety of enrichment materials for reading, math, science, art, music, physical education and more.

Eli wins prizes for his daily reading at home and for the amount of money he raises. Please consider supporting Eli in his efforts to raise money for his school. Thank you!!
