Eighty-two percent of Pomona students participated in this year’s Read-a-Thon. Students read for a total of 122,025 minutes (or 2,033 hours) over a 13-day period and raised just over $13,000 for the school's Parent-Teacher Organization. Top readers and top fundraisers received special prizes at the assembly.
