Did you know that the PTA could raise over $20,000 from Tuscan children reading books? 

Starting on March 2nd and ending on April 2nd, the Read-a-Thon returns to Tuscan. The goal is to raise $20,000 to help resurface the blacktop, which is the central hub of our outdoor community and in need of an upgrade. Unfortunately district funds will not be enough for this project. The resurfacing is long overdue. 

Each family will receive email instructions on how to register (a hard copy will be sent home too) and instructions on how the read-a-thon works.

Our Tuscan children read so much each day, that we hope this program will fit right into everyday in your household. So read, read, read! 

Prizes will be given to the top reader per grade and to the top class! Special events are planned throughout the read-a-thon. 

Questions, please email TuscanReads@gmail.com

​Support your child performer or promote your business with a personal ad in the printed program distributed at the Tuscan Show. Ad specifications and prices are listed on the online submission form. Proceeds to support the PTA.  Submission deadline is March 1st.
