Read-a-thon Encourages Love of Reading and Raises $8,000

Cragmont students spent the day on Feb 3 immersed in reading and listening to books during the second annual Read-a-thon. Students also chose a book to keep from the abundant donated titles and received a commemorative bookplate. To date, pledges totaling $8,000 have been turned in. Said third grader Charlotte Worman: "I loved it! There was peace and quiet, and I got to read all day!" Classmate Ruby Levine agreed: "It was fun to read with my friends and wear pajamas to school. It felt like a big sleepover!"
