Pages are turning and excitement is high at Melcher-Dallas Elementary during the schoolwide Read-A-Thon!
The Read-A-Thon turns reading into a celebration, supporting both academic growth and positive reading habits.
This year, the school-wide goal is to read 45,000 minutes and raise $7,000 in sponsorships for the Melcher-Dallas Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). These funds help the active PTO continue its important work—providing classroom resources, supporting field trips and events, offering snacks during testing weeks, and supporting staff and students throughout the district.
Community support is welcome. You can check the progress and sponsor the Read-A-Thon by visiting www.read-a-thon.com/donate/. Enter the code 69822. Donations can also be mailed or forwarded to M-D PTO c/o Mrs. Lee, 1003 Park St., Melcher-Dallas, IA 50163.
Mrs. Lee, Melcher-Dallas Elementary Title I teacher, said, "Every minute read and every word of encouragement helps inspire a lifelong love of reading. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our families and community as we work together to help our students thrive."
