The Read-A-Thon raises funds for the Mentor Schools Foundation that, in turn, supports the district with grants
The teacher of Hopkins Elementary have made a video to motivate their students to participate in the Mentor Schools Foundation’s Read-a-Thon.

The foundation used the proceeds from its annual pancake breakfast to give $3,775 worth of equipment to the district's autism resource and education center
The Mentor Schools Foundation has used part of the money it raised last year to buy equipment for the Cardinals Autism Resource and Education School (CARES.) The charity paid $3,775 to buy a recumbent exercise bike, an elliptical trainer, and an exercise ball for CARES, which is the district's new educational, training and resource facility for children and young adults with autism.
