Enatai PTSA Read-A-Thon
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Enatai Read-A-Thon?
A: The Read-A-Thon will be the first major Enatai PTSA fundraiser for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will set a reading goal, gather sponsors to pledge money, read during the week of Thanksgiving, and turn in money and packets by December 6, 2019. There is a calendar in this packet that shows the full schedule of the event.
Q: Can you tell me more about Enatai PTSA Fundraising?
A: Every year, we raise money to support and enhance our students’ education. Our budget this year spends approximately $250 on education enhancing opportunities for every Enatai student. We know that some families will donate more than this amount and some will donate less. The important thing is that everyone participates at a level that is comfortable and meaningful to them.
There is a lot of great information about Enatai PTSA Fundraising in the “Fundraising 101” article on our website at www.enataiptsa.org.
Q: What can students win?
A: We have some awesome prizes for this event. There are lots of ways to win!

Think of something that isn’t listed above? Here’s a rule of thumb: if your teacher or the librarian would consider it reading, then it is!
Q: Where can I find reading materials?
A: Here are a few suggestions:
Q: Where do students find sponsors?
A: Included in this packet is a sample letter that students can e-mail or read to friends, family, and neighbors requesting sponsorship. Students should NOT ask strangers – we want everyone to stay safe!
Q: I am concerned I won’t be able to find someone to pledge at least $10. Can I still participate and help my class earn a party?
A: Yes, you can! In addition to raising money to support our students’ education, the Enatai Read-A-Thon also focuses on setting goals, making reading a priority, and building community with our classmates. Because of that, participation is highly encouraged! If you think you will be unable to find a sponsor, the PTSA will find you a sponsor. Just tell your teacher you’ll need some help with this part, and your teacher will let the Read-A-Thon Chairs know.
Q: I have more questions. How do I get them answered?
A: You can email the Read-A-Thon Chairs at readathon@enataiptsa.org! We are happy to answer any questions you have, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
