Winter Break Reading Challenge
Our Winter Break Reading Challenge was an incredible success!! We had more than 200 families participate!! Students received two pledge points for completing the Challenge. One pledge point was for being responsible by reading over break and the other was being respectful by turning it into the office. Many students shared that their favorite things to do were to read in a fort, read with their jammies on, and read while sipping on hot chocolate. I'm so glad they had fun while working on their reading. Way to go Panthers!
