Meridian CUSD 223’s Monroe Center School Library has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading, and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, March 2, 2026.
About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you can view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323332323936/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
Meridian CUSD 223 Libraries
