Welcome to Poe PTO Read-a-thon 2025!

January 20th - February 3rd: Read and log your minutes! Keep asking for sponsors!

What is Read-a-thon?

Read-a-thon is a fundraising initiative that provides family and friends with an opportunity to give directly to Poe Elementary while promoting literacy and education. When you participate in Read-a-thon, you make an investment in each of our student’s daily educational experience. Our goal is that through the encouragement and support each of our students receives from family, friends, teachers, and classmates during this reading adventure, students will develop and foster a love of reading for many years to come.
