Arlington Heights school's Read-a-Thon is Friday

Greenbrier Elementary School students in Arlington Heights will spend all day Friday with their noses in books during the school's third annual Read-a-Thon.

The event not only includes time for students to read on their own, but Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 staff, Arlington Heights police and fire officials, and Buffalo Grove High School student-athletes also will read out loud to students.

The entire K-5 school will rotate through several half-hour reading stations during the day.
