St. James Children’s Center Students Read for a Worthy Cause

Islamorada, FL – St. James Children’s Center is excited to kick off the second annual Read-A-Thon fundraiser to support the non-profit preschool and VPK.  During the month of March, students will log their reading and collect pledges based on the number of books read.  Donations to the Read-A-Thon will help the school provide the instructional materials, books, arts and crafts supplies, playground toys and equipment, nutritious snacks and health and safety items utilized by students on a daily basis.

“The Read-A-Thon serves a dual purpose,” said Children’s Center Director SueEllen Bennett.  “We love that the event promotes literacy and encourage reading together as a family, all while raising critical funds to support our school.”

Support the students’ efforts by visiting https://stjames.rallyup.com/read.  Sponsor an individual student by making a flat pledge or pledging a specific amount for each book the student reads.   Donors can also select a class to support or make a general donation to the fundraiser.  Every donation has a positive impact on the students at St. James Children’s Center!

Event sponsor Sandbar Books is providing an additional opportunity to support this fundraiser.  Mention St. James when shopping at Sandbar Books during the month of March and they will donate 10% of your purchase to the school.  Sandbar Books, the Upper Keys locally owned, independent bookstore, is located in the Tavernier Towne Center, mile marker 91.2 bayside.
