Scoil Maelruain Junior National School, Tallaght, Dublin 24

Read-a-thon - Extended until 23rd April 2026

25th Mar 2026

Get your bookmarks ready… because our School Readathon Fundraiser is about to begin! 📚✨


This year, we’re reading our way toward an exciting goal: raising funds to buy a brand new set of iPads for the school. These will support learning across all classes — from creative projects to literacy, maths, and more.

 

🌟 How the Readathon Works

• Children read as much as they can at home starting on Friday 27th March 2026 until Sunday 12th April 2026. • They collect sponsorships from family and friends for their amazing reading efforts. • Reading logs will come home to help track all those pages turning and would ask that they along with any money raised are returned by Thursday 16th April 2026 *Extended until 23rd April 2026*

 

We hope the Readathon brings lots of fun, imagination, and new favourite books into every home.

 

🎉 Readathon Competition!

To make things even more exciting, we’re running a special competition:

• Every child who raises €20 or more will be entered into a draw to win Smyths Toy Store Vouchers! 🎁 • There will also be a Top Reader Prize for the child who raises the highest amount overall during the Readathon.

 

So not only are children helping the school — they’re also in with a chance to win something brilliant!

 

❤️ Thank You to Our Friday Library Volunteers

A huge shout out to our wonderful team of parent volunteers who help in the school library every Friday. Because of their time, energy, and creativity, our students enjoy a fun, welcoming library experience each week. They help keep the shelves tidy, recommend books, and create a lovely space where reading truly comes alive. We couldn’t do it without them!

 

🙌 Thank You for Your Support

We are grateful for your encouragement, generosity, and enthusiasm. Together, we can make this Readathon a fun, memorable event — and bring fantastic new technology into our classrooms.

 

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, the Parents’ Association would love to hear from you.
