Read-a-thon!
The second-annual Thornhill Read-a-thon is here! It runs from May 7 to June 7, 2018. (See the FAQ)
Our kick-off assembly for students will take place on May 8th.
This year, we have super exciting programs for adults, families, and students.
How it Works:
Students will have their own webpage on the Thornhill Read-a-thon site. Sponsors can donate directly through the students’ webpage. Cash and checks will also be able to be collected, and 100 percent will come back to the school. The more sponsors, the more prizes for your student.
Our Read-a-thon reading sessions in classrooms and the library at school will continue to build our Thunderbird culture of readers. More great news: 90 percent of the funds raised by the Read-a-thon will be donated to the school, with new and improved great prizes -- we will have prizes for kids who read the most and raise the most funds. The class that raises the most donations will get an ice cream party!

Meet the Author Parent Coffee Hour and Student Book Reading in the Thornhill Library
Join the Read-a-thon team and PFC for coffee, and meet a local author supported by a local bookstore, Laurel Books. Andrew Weiner is a longtime publishing professional and an avid fly-fisher. He lives in Albany, California and is one of the featured authors for our Read-a-thon this year. He will be reading to many of our TK-2 children his beautiful story about a little boy and his families' love for fishing. It is a beautifully-illustrated, heart-warming story that your family will love. All upper-grade parents who are coming to the school event in the morning, swing by and grab some coffee.
