Reading Challenges
The media center will host a reading challenge each quarter. Each challenge will require students to read a certain number of books/genres/etc. After reading, students will share what they read by completing a book review, creating a book trailer, or completing another project. Students who complete the challenge will be invited to a celebration, and they will be recognized at the quarterly awards ceremonies.
