BookSpring Read-A-Thon is Coming!

Get ready for the 2012 BookSpring Read-A-Thon!
Book A Trip!

This year’s Doss Read-a-thon will be February 6-17.

BookSpring is a non-profit organization which promotes literacy in the Austin area. Last year, over 140,000 books were given to over 45,500 of the neediest children and their families in Greater Austin. Participating students ask family, friends and neighbors to pledge for every page they read during the read-a-thon, winning prizes based on the amount they raise.

Our Doss Owls love to help others and they love to READ, READ, READ…?What a perfect combo!

Look for materials and more information to come home with students shortly before the date.
