Today marks the start of the 6th Annual Cove School Readathon!

Help our kids, and our school, start the New Year strong by joining us in making our 6th Annual Cove School Readathon the best one yet! 

The Readathon is a 4-week reading and fundraising event that will take place from January 14 to February 6. Not only does it encourage our children to read, it raises money that the Cove School relies heavily on.

The money we collectively raise directly funds The Cove needs such as: 

• Tech Licenses 

• Classroom furniture

• Cove office and admin supplies

• Teachers materials

• Professional Development Days

• Reading Support Position

• ...And the list goes on! 

We're especially proud to announce that our PTO pays for our Cove Campus Support staff position. This is an essential role that makes it possible for us to keep our school open and healthy, particularly during the pandemic.

Reading to your child, having them read to you, reading on their own, and even audiobooks all count toward minutes read! Let’s read, raise, and win!

We have awesome incentives and prizes for our students and teachers. 

You should have received an email invitation from 99pledges with your child's unique link.

Visit 99pledges and our Readathon website for more information.

 The Readathon is the only fundraising event dedicated solely to The Cove School, so please help us make it a success!
