Students Can Learn, Earn Stars, and Help Communities in Need
Students from all over the world are saving the stars they earned from reading and completing activities to prepare for the upcoming Learning A-Z® Star Donation Challenge, running this year from March 24 - April 25.Will your students be joining the challenge? Learn how to join for free if you are not already a Learning A-Z subscriber.
How it Works
As students read and complete assignments within the Learning A-Z student portal,* they’ll earn stars that can be donated toward healthy meals, clean water, and school supplies for communities in need.
Once the challenge has concluded, the top-donating classroom in each of the 50 U.S. states and D.C., as well as in five different countries, will win a class pizza party.** Learning A-Z will make a monetary donation, up to $20,000, on behalf of participating students to support a children’s humanitarian organization that works worldwide.
