Lakeridge PTA Read-A-Thon
LAKERIDGE READ-A-THON IS MARCH 7-16
Popular School-Wide Program Returns with
Special Prizes & New Fundraising Goal
The Lakeridge PTA’s Read-A-Thon is a school-wide literacy event that encourages a love of reading. Held March 7-16, 2025, and now in its third year, students will find sponsors, track their reading, participate in fun theme days at school, enter a bookmark contest, and win lots of prizes. All proceeds are invested back to the school. Pledges are entirely optional, and all students can participate fully, with or without sponsors.
For the first time, the Read-A-Thon has a BIG NEW FUNDRAISING GOAL of $16,000:
- If we raise $10,000, the library will receive new activity centers.
- If we raise $13,000, the library will receive new activity centers & all students will have a popsicle party.
- If we raise $16,000*, in addition to all the prizes above, 2 new Gaga Ball Pits will be installed at Lakeridge.
*The Top 25 Fundraisers will have their names on the new Gaga Ball Pits!

Sponsors can pledge two ways: 1) make a set, one-time donation, or 2) pledge a certain amount per 15-minute reading period (can be capped). Sponsors can pay online, cash, or check. Please keep the Pledge Sheet at home. All payments are due by March 21. All students are welcome to participate in the Read-A-Thon.
