We are currently advocating for Fair Funding!
Read-a-Thon is CMIT ES PTO’s biggest fundraiser - responsible for over 70% of our budget!
We are raising funds to support curriculum enrichment, STEM initiatives, and educational technology for our scholars. Read-a-Thon also funds in-school assemblies and events, supplements field trips, and community building events.
