Key Club has organized GDA’s first Read-A-Thon! For the month of March, we are challenging your students to read as many books they can! The reading challenge is open to all GDA K-12 students.

Your student should receive a Read-A-Log sent home from school this week. As they read books, we ask fill out the log and once it is full have your student return it to school to get another one. The more books you read the better your chances to win a prize!

There will be 9 prizes in total:

-1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for Upper Grades

-1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for Lower Grades.

-3 overall winners (Upper Grades Overall, a Lower Grades Overall, and a Total School Overall)

Overall winners will receive trophies and 1st, 2nd, and third place winners will receive prizes too!
