Read-a-thon

The Thornhill Readathon is one of our main fundraising events, raising nearly $20,000 each year to help support programs and fill major gaps in our PFC budget.

We challenge kids to read, and they encourage family and friends to contribute based on their reading activity.

Our annual Read-a-thon will take place April 18-29. This event is all about supporting and celebrating our fabulous culture of reading at Thornhill. It is also a fundraiser for the PFC, which provides funding for the library and PFC staff. Any and all support is very much appreciated. But most importantly, everyone is welcome to join in the reading fun!
​Add your reader to the Read-a-thon here! And follow the instructions by searching for your classroom teacher.
All Thornhill "bookworms" who activate their Read-a-Thon page will receive some tasty gummy (book) worm and a book mark, which will be delivered to their classrooms. (If you require an alternative to standard gummy worms, please contact marie.fox@ousd.org).

Prizes will be as follows:

• Individuals who:
  
  • Activate - receive bookmark and “book worms”.
    
  • Read the most minutes - Gift Card to local bookstore.
