Read a thon

“Hey you! Yeah you! Do you want to get rewarded for reading? Of course you do! The

NEHS Readathon is going on right now for the month of March, and you can get

rewarded just for reading. Three people who participate in Readathon will be chosen at

random for a fantastic prize. Not only that, but Readathon is an excellent opportunity to

begin reading now and continue reading into spring. Readathon is open to both

students and staff, so everyone is eligible to participate! Sheets for Readathon are

available outside of Mrs. Detwiler and Ms. Goodrich’s rooms in the upstairs 500s.

Readathon runs for all of March, and sheets should be turned in to either Mrs. Detwiler

or Ms. Goodrich’s rooms when they’re completed. The earlier you start, the more you’ll

be able to participate in Readathon. The sooner the better
