Grady Leads APS High Schools in the Race2Read Challenge!
As predicted, Grady students breezed past our original goal of 60,127 minutes. Congratulations to all the students who have logged a total of 222,002 reading minutes and put us ahead of all APS high schools. Our new school goal is 397,430 minutes which means we need an additional 175,428 minutes. We are getting very close! If every student logs about 130 minutes, we will easily reach our goal. Students may log all print or digital reading, including novels, magazine articles, and school assignments.
Don't forget to include a short review for each book or article you read. They are a great way to share your recommendations with other readers. Some of the most popular books on our review list are: All American Boys by Jason Reynolds, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel by Anthony Doerr, The Martian by Andy Weir, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Students can find these titles and many more in the media center. Spring break is coming up and we have lots of YA novels for pleasure reading. Be sure to stop by the media center and check out some books before the break.
