Winter Reading Challenge 2020
From January 1st to January 31st, NMES will participate in Beanstack’s Third Annual Winter Reading Challenge, sponsored by Penguin Random House (PRH). We challenge our students to read at least 100 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site at http://education.fcps.org/mes/mediacenter. Hundreds of libraries and schools across the nation will encourage their communities to read a target number of minutes and books. Can you help us win some of the author visits and prizes from this competition? Email Mrs. Siderius at jennifer.siderius@fcps.org for more information!
