Everything a readathon app has to keep straight.

A good readathon campaign is part classroom challenge, part parent workflow, part donor checkout, and part school office report.

School setup without busywork

Import students and classrooms from a spreadsheet, invite teachers, set campaign dates, and generate each student's public link automatically.

Reading logs for home and class

Parents can log at-home reading, while teachers can log a whole classroom in one pass. Minutes feed goals, dashboards, and rankings.

Online donations through Square

Donors give by card on the student's page. Funds go directly to the school's connected Square account, and donors can cover processing fees.

QR-coded take-home sheets

Every student gets a printable sheet with their activation code and QR link, so families can start without passwords or manual account setup.

Leaderboards, goals, and rewards

Track school-wide totals, classroom progress, student prizes, and milestone rewards without rebuilding spreadsheets every day.

Reports schools can use

Admins can see donations, payment status, reading activity, classroom progress, and final results from the same campaign dashboard.

why schools switch

Less manual tracking. More money kept by the school.

Readathon software should reduce office work and make the fundraiser easier for families, not skim a percentage from every donation.

No percentage-based platform fee during the pilot.
Donations can be sent directly to the school's Square account.
Student pages are shareable, but not meant for Google indexing.
Parents, teachers, donors, and school admins each get the workflow they need.
Built around Canadian schools, Canadian currency, and school-run campaigns.
