This year, the Guilford Education Association (GEA) held a Read-a-thon to support SARAH. Students read books and secured sponsors for the number of pages or books they read. These funds were donated to the SARAH Foundation to support its programs and services for people with intellectual and other disabilities who live in Connecticut.

The top fundraisers from each school were Liam Ledwith, Grant Waehner, Avery McMahon, and Abbigail White. Ledwith was the highest fundraiser at Baldwin Middle School and the district’s highest fundraiser.
