Welcome! We are excited to launch our 10th annual Read-a-thon event! It is the PTA’s largest fundraising event and it gets the children excited to read!
In Read-a-thon, a child reads for a month to raise funds for the Takoma Park Elementary School PTA. Read-a-thon runs February 27 – March 24, 2023. Please encourage your child to read today!
On this page, you will be able to find more information about our Read-a-thon event.
