March Beanstack Reading Challenge!
For the month of March, we are encouraging all of our students to participate in the Beanstack “Read Across Houston” reading challenge! This challenge has a goal of every student reading 450 minutes in the month of March. Districts across the Houston area are participating and I know our Williams Wranglers will show everyone where readers live in the Houston area! The top three schools in LCISD will even receive cash prizes from Beanstack. Log your minutes!
Let's rock this challenge and get into the grand prize category this go round!!
