Battle of the Books
Our Battle of the Books program was a huge success thanks to our dedicated students and fantastic volunteers. This reading incentive program is designed to improve reading comprehension and enthusiasm for reading using a fun and unique competition format. Our students in grades three – five were challenged to read ten books from September through December. All participating students were divided into teams of six. On Wednesday, December 14th, 32 teams faced off in a “battle” to test their knowledge of the books.
We are exceedingly proud of all our Battle of the Books teams and their accomplishments!

Six Flags Reading Program
We are currently running our Six Flags reading program. Students who complete a minimum of six hours of recreational reading will earn a free ticket to Six Flags. Homework and class assignments do not count so students must read six hours above and beyond what is required by their teacher. Continue reading every night and record the minutes spent reading on the Six Flags reading log form that was sent home several weeks ago. The deadline to return the Six Flags reading logs is Friday, February 17th, 2017. Happy Reading!
