East Juniata Elementary recently held a- Read-a-Thon for its students and the school’s PSIS program. The students read so much! The event also raised $9,715 (so far)! You can donate here.

The top reader overall was Calleigh Reasner in Mrs. Crimmel’s 4th-grade class with 2,293 minutes. One of EJE’s teachers said that they even saw Calleigh reading while she was jumping on the trampoline at home!
