FDR Reading Olympics Team
Congratulations to our Reading Olympics team, Last of the Olympians, on winning another blue ribbon! Students worked as a team to read the 25 books on the middle school list. The competition was held virtually again this year. They answered 35 questions in each of 3 rounds of Kahoot and earned 51,000 points - well over the 35,000 needed for the blue ribbon. Great work, everyone!
