Making A Difference Through Reading And More By Sara D. Ulrich
“Barons are difference makers.” That phrase, the motto of Manheim Central School District, is more than just a catchy slogan for students at Doe Run and H.C. Burgard elementary schools. To prove they are difference makers, kindergartners through fourth-graders at both elementary schools took part in a reading challenge that culminated with fundraiser parties that benefited local organizations and continued the celebration of reading. As part of the challenge, participants at both elementary schools aimed to read in 15-minute increments, or “steps,” and the class with the highest number of steps received special honors during the parties, dubbed the Family Reading Night and Read-a-THON Celebration, held on March 14 at the respective schools. The Read-a-THON coincided with the
middle and high school Mini-THON events as a way for younger grades to get in on the excitement of Mini-THON, which raises funds for Four Diamonds. Monetary donations were collected for Four Diamonds during the Read-aTHON. Youngsters at both Doe Run and H.C. Burgard held a reading spirit week leading up to the Read-a-THON. During the week, students were invited to participate in dress-up days such as Hats Off to Reading Day, when students could wear a hat all day; Curl Up With a Book Pajama Day; and Read My Shirt Day, where students wore shirts with writing that classmates could read. According to Doe Run principal Art Paynter, the schools pulled out all the stops to promote reading during the culminating parties on March 14. “This is a way for us to celebrate the students and their efforts to be enthusiastic readers,” Paynter explained.
