Pledges for the Read-A-Thon

Fiona, my ten-year-old daughter, and I are getting ready for Dewey's Read-A-Thon next Saturday!

If you'd like to support us in this endeavor, we are collecting pledges!  All pledges will go directly to Fiona's classroom at Compass Montessori. This is her second year in the Fire Room and it has been a lovely place for her. We appreciate her teachers, Ms. Abby & Ms. Maya, so much and would love to give them a little bit of money for some classroom needs and wants.

Some possible options for you:

* pledge by minutes read (e.g. a quarter for each minute read)
* pledge by books read (e.g. $10 for each book completed during the challenge)
* pledge by pages read (e.g. a dime for each page read)

You can make a pledge for Fiona's reading, my reading, or both of us.


Let us know if you have any questions or comments -- you can invent your own amount to pledge!  Also, and this has been a popular option in the past, if there is a book you'd like to insist one or both read during the challenge, you can ensure it happens for the low, low rate of $20 a book. :) This is your chance, folks, to preach, to what may or may not be the choir, about your favorite book(s). Don't let the door of opportunity slam shut on your toes![This is assuming we can get our hands on the book in time. Though there have been cases where a promise has been made to read the book as soon as possible if we can't get it in time for the read-a-thon -- I'm looking at you, Mom and Waylon Jennings.]

Stay tuned for pictures of our reading stacks!
