Thank you for supporting Reading Rocks for another successful year. All pledges have been completed!

Pre-Event Info:
All students in grades PreK-5 are invited to participate in the Wilton Education Foundation’s fun & non-competitive Read-A-Thon “Reading Rocks!” The Reading Rocks! goal is to encourage children to have fun reading while raising money for the Wilton Education Foundation – that means all proceeds benefit our public schools!

Students will be able to choose his or her own goal for Reading Rocks! The goal is completely up to the child.

This is the 9th year for the Reading Rocks! program. In the first eight years, Reading Rocks! raised more than $300,000 in total for our schools!! This outstanding effort helped WEF fund:

Middlebrook Makerspace
Cider Mill Virtual Reality Technology Lab
Miller-Driscoll Student-Run Postal Center
Miller-Driscoll TV /Recording Studio
Odyssey of the Mind Sponsorship
Professional development for our teachers ($20K in 2019) and more!!

HOW READING ROCKS! WORKS

We have a goal of 100% student participation in this year’s Reading Rocks!
Students ask friends/family to support their reading goals and record it on the pledge form provided.
A student can read independently, be read to by someone else, flip through a picture book, or even read with someone on the phone or via Skype – anything goes that helps the student celebrate reading!
Pledge dollars must be submitted with pledge form NO LATER than January 24^th
Pledges should be in $5 increments in support of your child’s overall commitment to read more, rather than a per-page or per-book challenge. We’re encouraging each student to try to raise at least $25.
We prefer payments to be made online, however if you would rather submit via the form provided, while we accept cash and checks (made payable to the Wilton Education Foundation)./li>
Students will have from Jan 25^th – Feb 8^th to complete their reading goals.
