Our annual Read-a-thon is now officially underway!  At our Kick-off Spirit Assembly on Wednesday, January 11, students were introduced to the goals of this year’s “Reading Round-up.”  All students (ahem…I mean “bookaroos”) were encouraged to corral as many good books as they could rustle-up and read, read, read!  Also, all students received a “Wanted: Reader” poster that they could complete during the Read-a-thon.  Also, students learned that 100% participation will be our goal and that the lifeskill of “Integrity” will guide our efforts. 

The Read-a-thon is an opportunity for students to reach out to relatives and close adult friends to sponsor their efforts.  However, with or without sponsors, we hope that all students will participate, by simply recording their reading hours and returning their weekly tally sheets to school on Thursdays. 

Thank you and happy reading!
