Readathon, Bhavika Hotchandani 8A

A Pathways’ Tradition … an event that every student awaits for…… to read for a cause… once again Pathways School Noida welcomes the annual Readathon.

The Readathon is an event performed every year when students gather to read for a cause. We have all heard about the tragedy that took place in Uttarakhand earlier this year.  This year’s purpose is to collect funds for Uttarakhand, so as a school… we can make a difference. The Readathon is planned by the Community service club, which puts in intensive effort every year in organizing this memorable event.

Each student is given a reading log and a pledge sheet to record their progress. Students are sponsored by their friends, families, relatives and neighbors to raise money for a good cause. Students get the opportunity to read before lunch time where we all gather in the Atrium accompanied by soft music, cushions and mats that definitely help raise the benchmark of the event.

This event is supported by the charity: Habitat for Humanity. As a school, our goal is to raise a reasonable amount of money to help families in Uttarakhand. I think that this is a very creative way of fundraising, and also a great experience coming together as a school to work towards our goal. I am looking forward to contributing this year, towards making a difference…
