From April 5 to April 30, 2021, the PS 163 PTA is hosting a month-long Read-A-Thon. Our reading goal is 163,000 minutes!

Help our students reach their full reading potential during the month of April while helping to fund all of the things that make our school the fun, unique, and exciting community we all love.

As a sponsor, you can donate per minute OR give a flat donation. To donate offline, complete a donation form and mail your check to:

  Attn: Friends of PS 163

163 West 97th Street

New York, NY 10025

Want to make a general donation instead of sponsoring a specific student? You can make a general donation to the Read-A-Thon on this page or via one of these methods:

• Venmo: @AlfredE-Smith
• Text-to-donate: Text "163READ" to 44-321
• PayPal

*IMPORTANT: If you choose PayPal, please uncheck the "paying for goods or services" option. This allows PS 163 to receive your full donation without incurring any fees.

Let’s see how many minutes PS 163 can read in a month! Happy reading!
