READING FAIR 2021
The 7th Annual 'Race to Read' Reading Fair is "in the books". With a record setting participation of 115 students at Wheatfield Elementary, this year was a great success all the way to the finish line. This year's Reading Fair looked different with social distancing, masks, and Live Streaming the Awards on Facebook for all of our Families to enjoy! Every student who participated received a Certificate and T-Shirt. Each grade-level was awarded a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for best display and interview by our three Judges. Our Judges were very impressed by all of our student's work and presentations. They said this was one of the hardest years to judge and they really enjoyed interviewing each and every student. WES is fillled with great readers, supportive Students & Staff, and Families that embrace the love of reading.
