Read-A-Thon 2025
PS20 Reads!
The PS20 Read-A-Thon seeks to encourage a love of reading in our students through friendly, collaborative competition. Between March 14 - 21, students and families will be asked to record every minute the student spends reading outside of school on the βFor Our Schoolβ website (and hard copy paper logs are available for students and families who would prefer pen & paper tracking. We also encourage you to use the βFor Our Schoolβ website to request donations from friends and family to support school-wide literacy programs.

Rules (March 14 - 21)
