Seward's Read Around 2025

The Seward Montessori School 2025 Read Around will run February 24 - March 23, 2025!

What is Read Around? The Read Around is our beloved annual read-a-thon and a school-wide celebration of the joy of reading. During this exciting event, Seward students are encouraged to read at home every day, tracking their progress on a Reading Log. It’s a time to foster a love of books and build community through shared stories. Visit Seward Read Around to learn more!

How Can You Support Read Around? All participating students will receive a 2025 Read Around t-shirt, and those who raise $50 or more will be entered into a drawing for additional prizes! We encourage families to donate an amount that not only supports your student but also helps Seward students as a whole. Together, we aim to raise $10,000 to support our school.

Why Donate? Your contribution to Seward Montessori's PTA makes a meaningful impact by funding:

• Read Around Activities, such as:

  • Local visiting authors for Children’s House and E1 classrooms
  • E2 Writing Workshop with a local author
  • Read Around t-shirts for all students meeting daily reading goals
  • Classroom books by visiting authors

• Classroom Resources, including materials, books, curriculum, headphones, and tools to help teachers and staff excel.

• Educator Grants aligned with Seward Montessori's core values.

• Community Events, like the Seward Spring Family Event and more!

Exciting In-School Activities: This year’s Read Around promises fun and connection for everyone! Highlights include:

• E2 students reading to Children’s House students.
• Visits from local authors.
• “Camp Read Around” in the Media Center, where students read in cozy tents.

Let’s make the 2025 Read Around a huge success and show our Seward Shark pride by supporting this special event. Thank you for helping us cultivate a lifelong love of reading in our students!
