Get Sponsors
- Set goals for minutes to be read during the Read-a-Thon and number of classroom BINGO categories to complete. Share these goals with potential sponsors such as family, friends and neighbors! Sponsors can pledge a one-time donation, a per-minute donation, or on the number of BINGO squares completed.
- Track the sponsor pledges on your sponsor log.
Read and Log Minutes!! from March 7th to 18th.
- Have an adult verify and initial daily reading log and final tally of total minutes read.
- Mark one BINGO square per reading session. (A Non-Ficton book from the Library with a One Word Title Read Aloud while Wearing your PJ's will count for one of those catagories per reading session. The time of a reading session will vary by grade and class. Verify with your teacher but should range 10-30mins.)
Turn in Reading Packet with the reading log, sponsor log, and all collected pledges by Friday, March 25th to be eligible for prizes!
- Notify any sponsors who pledged a per-minute donation or per BINGO square donation of their amount due (minutes read x amount pledged per-minute = total donation amount).
