We kicked off our annual school wide Read-A-Thon today. Between today - March 11, we are asking our families to create their child's Read-A-Thon page so they can track the minutes they read daily. Once the page is created, you can ask family and friends to support your child by making donations. Students will receive Rat Bucks at the conclusion of the Read-A-Thon that they can spend in the prize store. BES does receive a portion of the donations.
