Happy World Book Day!
It is lovely to see the happy faces of in the children and how much effort they (and their parents!) have put in the costumes.
In addition to celebrating reading and literature, today marks the beginning of St Joan of Arc’s Second Readathon. The children will bring home a form today for those of you who prefer to pay cash, but everyone is encouraged to use the online platform if possible:
https://sja.rallyup.com/readathon22
The platform has several advantages:
- Each child will get their own fundraising link, which they can personalise
- Their fundraising link can be sent to relatives and friends so they can participate even if they live far away
- Children can use the “updates” section in their personal page to keep their sponsors informed of their reading progress, which will keep them engaged with the Readathon and encourage them to read more
All the information you need is in the FAQ’s section, including how to sign your child up to the Readathon, but do contact us at sjoacommittee@gmail.com if you experience any problems.
IMPORTANT: the Readathon platform, RallyUp.com, provides it’s services at no cost to PA, and they are funded by optional tips that sponsors can add during checkout. Please be aware that the tip to Rallyup is completely optional, and if you want to add a tip to cover their costs (so it can continue to be a free service), a £1 or £2 tip is generous enough.
