7th Grade Read-A-Thon

Header image for 7th Grade Read-A-Thon

Concord Middle School 7th grade students are raising money for Book Aid while strengthening their literacy skills, through a springtime Read-A-Thon from April 16 - May 14.  Students will set a reading goal to accomplish over the 4 week Read-A-Thon.  You can support and celebrate their reading goals with a donation to Book Aid International.  

With the money the 7th grade class raises, they will be able to help Book Aid provide books for refugees. This is so important because literacy empowers people to grow and reach their goals.  As Book Aid states, “Books give people who have been displaced the power to succeed in education and help them begin to reimagine their futures.” You can read more about the work Book Aid does with refugees here. 

Thank you for your support!

This is a 7th Grade ELA Fundraising Campaign benefiting Book Aid International.  All proceeds - donations less 5% processing fee - will go to Book Aid International.
