5th Annual Book it for Boone
September 13th - 22nd
We are excited to be celebrating our FIFTH year of Book it for Boone! This beloved fundraiser has two objectives -- to foster a love of reading and to raise critical funds to support Boone! Our theme this year is Up, Up, and Away, READ EVERY DAY! We want our students to soar in reading!
To make Readathon even more fun, mark your calendars for
Book Character Dress Up Day on Friday, September 13th!
And visit the Boone Book Fair September 17th - 20th
During Book it for Boone, each student has two goals:
Raise $200
Read 15 minutes each day
We make it easy with our simple online platform, Pledgestar, where you can track your child's donations AND reading minutes.
