On May 28th we will hold our Readathon at Annapolis Middle School. What is a Readathon?, you may ask. It is a reading marathon in which students, parents, teachers, and community members are encouraged to come and read as long as they can! Leading up to the event, we have challenged students to read 1,400 books  in these 3 weeks. While at the event some serious participants will sit and read the entire time, there will be additional activities for the less-competitive, including Read Alouds, Book “Sales”, and a Reading Café. There will be representatives from our community partners such as the Public Library and giveaways.

One of the highlights is the Read Aloud Room; this will be a great opportunity for all participants to hear selected stories shared by teachers, students, and community members. We would love to have you as a guest reader for any 15 minute time slot from 2:00 until 5:30.

We are also in need of parent volunteers to help monitor students, serve food, and direct activities.  Interested in volunteering but not eager for the spotlight?  Follow this link to sign up to volunteer:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0844aea72fa7fd0-parent1/
