🦉 Readafun & "Wisdom Coins"

Students earn Wisdom Coins for every book logged, question answered, friend cheered on, sponsor invited, and donation received! These coins are the ticket to customizing their Owlvator in the "Owl Shop" and serve as entries for the Grade-Level and Individual Prize Raffles.

How to boost your score:

• Students: Log books, answer comprehension questions, and send cheers to classmates.
• Parents/Guardians: Invite sponsors to support your child's journey! Both donations and sponsor invites trigger Wisdom Coins.

🏆 Prizes & All-Stars

Student entry for grade-level and individual prizes is based on total Wisdom Coins earned. Check the PTA website or our social media handles to see the amazing prizes up for grabs!
