Summer Reading Challenge (Grades 1-5)
It looks like the Summer Reading Online Log for minutes has been closed. Don't worry! Any minutes you were not able to log on the website can be turned in on paper. I will accept reading logs until September 21.
Every student who reads 800 minutes this summer will receive a participation certificate. Students who read 1000 minutes or more will receive a poster from Scholastic. The student who reads the most minutes in each grade level will receive a $25 gift certificate to our Fall Book Fair.
