Unity East Read-a-thon Update

Our Read-a-thon is wrapping up and has gone very well! 

Our readers have logged over 70,000 minutes (1,166hrs) and have exceeded our fundraising goal by raising over $11,000 for our school from more than 460 individual donations. 

Today (Friday) is the last day for students to enter minutes toward reading goals. 

The fundraising portion will remain open for an additional 10 days and close on Feb.6.

We hope everyone enjoyed time spent reading and we sincerely thank everyone who has donated toward our school. 

Go Rockets!



How does this event benefit Unity East?

Our annual Read-a-thon is the primary fundraiser for Unity East and the donations directly benefit our students and classrooms.  

Donations from this event pay for our family night events, assemblies, guest speakers, field day supplies, and rewards such as Kona Ice visits, popcorn, and pizza parties. 

These funds have also paid for program subscriptions that our students enjoy, such as Accelerated Reader, Starfall, Kahoot!, and GoNoodle.  

This year funds have also provided for the addition of document cameras and books for classroom libraries, and many other programs and purchases to benefit our school.  

Thank you for your support!
