We are excited to once again sponsor a district-wide Readathon. This annual Readathon fosters and celebrates the joy of reading and literacy in our kids while raising money for the Kentfield Schools PTA (KSPTA).

Love reading. Make a pledge. Support our schools.

  • Our goal is to have 100% participation from students and to raise $70,000 for the KSPTA to support the school district in many areas including:

    • Free Community Events (New Family Welcome, Back to School events, Book Fair, Games Nights, Movie Nights, Winter Market)

    • Grant Program & Teacher Stipends

    • Parent Education (Guest Speakers and Authors)

    • Staff Events (Teacher Appreciation Week & Luncheon, Staff Breakfasts)

    • Student & School Events (Author visits, Assembly enrichment, Grade-level parties & dances, Earth Day, Maker Fair, Talent Shows)

    • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (“We All Belong” t-shirts, Kent/Bacich magnets, water bottle stickers)

    • Classroom and Garden Supplies

    • Yearbooks

    • Spiritwear and more!

    • Monday, February 26 - Students will begin seeking pledges from friends & family.
