📚 Brisas Read-a-Thon
Ride the Wave. Lead the Way.
Our Brisas Read-a-Thon is officially here! From August 18–28, we’re challenging our students to read, compete, and come together as a school community—all while raising funds to support the experiences that make Brisas special.
🌊 Our School Goal: 80,000 Minutes!
Our goal is for Brisas students to collectively read 80,000 minutes. If we reach our goal, all students will earn an extra recess!
Reading can happen anywhere and in many different ways. Books, comics, magazines, newspapers, reading to someone, being read to, and audiobooks while following along all count. Text reminders to log reading minutes will be sent each night during the Read-a-Thon.
🌊 Ready to Ride the Wave?
Every book. Every minute. Every dollar. It all adds up. Thank you for helping us Ride the Wave. Lead the Way. 💜

💜 Why Your Support Matters
The Read-a-Thon is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and funds raised go directly back into our school to help offset the costs of:
- Classroom resources and supplies
- Student clubs and field trips
- Special school events
- Before- and after-school programs
- AVID school culture
- Teacher and staff appreciation
- Community-building experiences and activities
We know every family's circumstances are different, and there is absolutely no pressure to give. If you're able to ask friends and family to support your child, even a few dollars can make a difference. When our Brisas families give a little, it adds up to something BIG!
Most importantly, we want kids to read because reading is awesome! 📖💜
