On Friday morning, the Calais Elementary School held its annual Readathon parade and award ceremony. The Readathon is a fundraiser that raises money for educational assemblies for the students. 

“The Readathon is the only fundraiser the PTO does. The kids are encouraged, for two weeks, to record all of their minutes reading and ask for pledges. We have all kinds of goals set in function of that,” said Margo Puma of the PTO.
