Rise n' Roll Fundraiser Coming to a Close

School Wide Reading Goals
Every grade level will be participating in the Roadrunner Reading Program this year. Because there is a direct correlation between reading and student achievement we have organized a school wide reading program that we hope will inspire children to read. Please reference your child's grade level for the desired amount of reading a week:
Kindergarten - at least 50 minutes, 1st grade - 75 minutes, 2nd and 3rd grade - 100 minutes, 4th and 5th grade - 120 minutes. Depending on your child's grade level, students' reading experiences may look different. Parents may read aloud to students, some students may opt to listen to an audio book while others choose to read aloud to an adult or read silently. All are acceptable! If your student reaches his/her monthly reading goal his/her classroom teacher will reward those students in various ways. If your child reaches his/her reading goal EVERY month, those students will celebrate their achievement by visiting Gymnastics Michiana for a field trip of fun! Please work with your child to ensure his/her name will be on the list in May for the Gymnastics Michiana opportunity.
