Research has shown that students achieve more in school when their parents are involved in their education. All parents, regardless of economic status, race, or primary language, can do simple things like asking a child about school or attending a parent-teacher meeting. Being involved in your child's education not only helps your child to achieve more academically, but it also lifts teacher morale and provides you with the satisfaction of making a difference in your child's education.

Task-a-Thon© enables parents to engage with classroooms by creating tasks and assigning them to one or more grades. Teachers create a reward claim by marking the task as complete. Parents then approve and make a payment to the school against that task.

Task-a-Thon uses School Fundraising and School Payment Solutions from PayPal under the hood. Each school is requested to provide a paypal.me account while registering. This enables parents to pay directly to their school's account. We  do not keep any portion of the payment. .
