Thank you for the support you’ve shown so far for the Read-a-Thon! The most rewarding part has been the excitement in our children to read and have fun while making a positive impact on our school. Looking for something to do with the early dismissal today? Sign up or log minutes with the Duffy Read-A-Thon!
Please see below for a helpful Q&A and email lemulready@gmail.com or lyndseybrussell@gmail.com with any questions.
Q: I haven’t had the chance to register yet. Is there still time?
A: Absolutely! The Read-a-thon runs through Friday, March 6th. You may register, track minutes, and make donations through that date.
Q: Help! How do I register?
A: It’s quick and easy - follow the steps below:
-
Go to the main fundraising page (or QR code / website from the attached flyer).
-
Scroll down towards the bottom.
-
Under the Group Standings/Teacher names, there is a blue link that says, “add participant." Click on that link and follow the steps (name, email, teacher etc.).
-
After, two links will be emailed to the address you provided. One link will be your child’s fundraising page. Another link will be your child’s personal page, which allows you to track minutes.
Q: My child is registered, but how do I track their minutes online?
A: Follow the 3 simple steps below:
-
Locate the initial email 99Pledges sent after you registered.
-
Click on the second link provided. This is your management page.
-
Click on the “Track” tab and voila! You can insert your child’s minutes.
Q: How can my child’s class win a set of books?
A: The class per grade, which has the most minutes read during the Read-a-thon, will be able to select books for their classroom.
Q: How am I charged when a donation is made online?
A: Flat donations are charged right away. Pledges per minute will be charged at the conclusion of the Read-a-thon. Don’t forget to share the link with friends and family so they can join in the fun!
Q: What type of reading counts towards the minutes log?
A: Any type! Reading to self, audiobook listening, reading with a buddy, or being read to are all ways to log minutes. Students are never too old to listen to you read, so consider finding time to share in reading this week with your child!
Happy reading!
