The PTA is proud to host our 3rd annual Sleepy Hollow Read-a-Thon!  The Read-a-Thon will be held Monday, Dec 8, 2025 until Thursday, January 15, 2026.

We have set a goal to raise $5,000 and every student has a goal to read at least 300 minutes for the Read-a-Thon period, we want to encourage them to do even more! As of 12/17 we are only at $300 - please make your pledges over the break!!!

Our school-wide goal is to reach 200,000 minutes by January 15, 2026.

Read-a-Thon packets should have come with instructions and a form to log minutes for each of the days - please encourage your children to log those reading minutes and help them earn donations!!! If you need a new sheet please email ptaboard@shespta.org
