Pages with the Pack - The Eras Tour: Eras Through History
Kicks off Jan. 26th!
WWE’s annual read-a-thon, Pages with the Pack (PWTP), kicks off Friday, Jan. 26th and wraps up, Friday, Feb. 2nd! Registration is NOW OPEN! This year's theme is The Eras Tour: Eras Through History.
To Participate:
- Register your student at www.pageswiththepack.com
- Collect pledges from family, friends, etc.
- Encourage your child to read–every day, but especially Jan. 26 through Feb. 2!
- Starting Jan. 26th, log your students minutes by 9 p.m. each day, so that your student can be awarded prizes based on their achievements the next day!
School-wide Challenge:
If half the student body registers by Jan. 24th, the entire school wins a read-in on February 2nd. If WWE meets this challenge, students can bring a favorite book and stuffed animal/pillow to school for the read-in and have the opportunity to earn some extra minutes!
Funds raised this year will support WWE technology upgrades, Healthy Schools program, and classroom needs for our sister school, Slater Elementary.

Pages with the Pack 2023 Raises More Than $43,500
Pages with the Pack 2023 is a wrap, and our WWE community came together to read over 430,000 minutes and collect more than $43,500!
On behalf of Ms. Katsampes, Ms. Duncan, WWE’s incredible teachers and staff, students and PTSA, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that participated in helping WWE surpass its goals! Funds raised this year will go towards completing the STEM room, supporting teachers with supplemental math supplies, and to our community. WWE students once again read more minutes than Fairmount Elementary, which means WWE keeps the traveling trophy for another year and students have earned a school-wide popsicle party.
On Friday, all students had a CRAZY HAIR Day with an assembly to see Ms. Katsampes and Ms. Duncan kiss a donkey and get SLIMED by WWE’s top readers and top fundraisers.
Thank you to our PWTP sponsors that donated wonderful prizes, including Hops & Pie Pizza, Berkeley Donuts, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Chipper’s Lanes Entertainment, Skate City,
Urban Air, Activate and Box Cars Limousine!
Great job Wolves! We came together as a community and read over 407,000 minutes and collected more than $37,000. On behalf of Ms. Katsampes, Ms. Duncan, our incredible teachers and the rest of the WWE staff, students and PTSA we would like to extend a huge thank you for your generosity in helping us surpass our goals! Please check your student’s Friday Folders for their prizes and certificates they earned during the read-a-thon. GREAT JOB, WOLVES!!
Ms. Katsampes and Ms. Duncan made good on their promise for PWTP by having a crazy hair day, kissing an alpaca, and hitting the ‘bobsled’ hill for the Olympic sport in getting doused in all sorts of silly stuff, including slime! Our Wolves also read more minutes than Fairmount Elementary's students
and won the ‘traveling’ trophy.
