Our Goal
Our goal is to read 500,000 minutes and raise $12,000 to support all the awesome programs and events the PTA brings to our school. Every minute and dollar counts - let’s do this!
Here’s how it works, Dolphins!
Read as much as you can during the two-week Readathon and track your minutes each day on your reading log. At the end, turn it in and start earning rewards!
*make sure you put your name, grade & teacher on your log*
For every 100 minutes you read, you’ll get one ticket to enter raffles for amazing experiences with some of your favorite Davis teachers and staff.
But that’s not all! When you participate, you’re not just helping your school—you’re also unlocking exciting prizes for your class, grade, and even the whole school!
So grab a book, start reading, and let’s see how far we can go together on this fIntastic reading adventure!
What is
a readathon?
The Davis Readathon is all about reading for fun!
It’s not about how many pages you turn—it’s about how much time you spend reading. No matter your speed or who’s reading with you, every minute counts. Challenge yourself to read as much as you can!
What can
we read?
Anything!
Fiction, non-fiction, comics, poetry, magazines, newspapers, electronic books, audio books and more!
What counts
as reading?
Every minute counts!
You can read on your own, read to someone else, or have someone read to you. Siblings or friends who read together can both count the minutes!
