B.R.I.G.H.T. SUMMER READERS
B.R.I.G.H.T. SUMMER READERS
The Summer of 2016 Allen and William Arnold students were busy reading. There were over 100 reading logs turned in. Once all logs were turned in, a winner was chosen by verifying the amount of pages each child read. One student, per grade level, that read the most pages was the winner. The pictures below are some of the students that turned in their logs. Not all students were present during the day the pictures were taken.
