Eli Whitney Elementary School

📚✨ Reading is Our Superpower! ✨📚

Eli Whitney’s Read-a-Thon kicks off this Friday, October 3rd and runs through Monday, October 20th! 🚀

Not only will students grow their reading powers, but there are also amazing prizes for top readers and fundraisers. PLUS, if we reach our school goal of $16,000, we’ll unlock a special theme day and an all-school celebration assembly! 🎉

Let’s come together as a community to show that at Eli Whitney, reading makes us SUPER! 💥
