Colfax Read-A-Thon 2025

It's Read-A-Thon time!

Please help us support our Colfax students' love of reading by making a donation here. Our school will be striving to read hundreds of thousands of minutes and fundraise as much as we can for our school in just three weeks! Every little bit helps.

All donations will go towards exciting Library upgrades such as new books as well as the continuation of crucial programs at Colfax such as Art, Science, Music, Computer Lab, Farm, Garden & Teachers' Aides.
