Read-A-Thon

It’s almost time for the 2025 Louise Archer PTA Read-A-Thon! (#2025LAESReadathon)

The Louise Archer Elementary School Read-A-Thon begins on Monday March 3, 2025 and is sure to be a fun and exciting event.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader’s personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We encourage everyone to activate their student’s Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.

As an incentive, we’ve partnered with Ben & Jerry’s (Vienna, VA) who’s offering all students who register and log minutes a coupon for a complimentary scoop of ice cream. No purchase required.

All donations will be collected through your personalized student webpage on Read-a-thon.com. This platform makes it easy for friends and family to support your reading efforts

Thank you so much for your participation and support. Together, we can make this Read-A-Thon an amazing experience for our young readers!

For questions, please reach out to readathon@louisearcherpta.org
