About:

Rushmore Avenue School held their first Read-A-Thon with much success. The Read-A-Thon was held for two weeks to promote literacy and the love of reading. The students at Rushmore read for a total of 79,363 minutes. 

Awards included top reader (Jacqueline Mazaroski – sixth grade), top reading class (Mrs. Julie Santoro/Mrs. Elizabeth Vena – fourth grade), top donation collector (Audrey Healy – fourth Grade) and top donation collecting class (Mrs. Hannah Choi – fourth Grade). Prizes included Islanders tickets, gift cards, free homework passes, extra recess, and making Mrs. Marni Nelson, Mrs. Jennifer Dintino and Ms. Kacy Maher dress-up any way the winners wanted.

The momentous part of the fundraiser was the school was able to raise enough money to install a “Little Free Library” in front of the building where students and community members can take a book or leave a book at any time. The students of Rushmore, their families and friends raised the amount needed due to their hard work and generosity.
