Our Winter Reading Challenge is going full steam ahead! As a building, we have reached and exceeded our goal of 100,000 minutes read since the beginning of the competition! Students are working hard to earn their individual prizes as well--scratch and sniff bookmarks at the halfway point, and a nifty Reading Machine button when the challenge is complete. Competition for the movie prize is intense--second grade holds a razor-thin lead over third grade, with each group at just over 37,000 minutes read. We've got two weeks to go, so keep up the awesome work, #WinterRead2025 #ReadingMachine
