The PS20 Read-A-Thon seeks to encourage a love of reading in our students through friendly, collaborative competition.  Between Friday, February 27 - Sunday, March 8, 2026 students and families will record every minute the student spends reading outside of school hours on the For Our School website.  We also encourage you to use the For Our School portal to request donations from friends and family to support the library and school-wide literacy programs.

Last year we raised over $18k and added more than 900 books to the library! This year our goal is $20k!
