Our 2018-2019 Rotary Reading Challenge theme is Climb to the Top. The challenge will run from November 26-March 1. Each grade level created an English Language Arts-focused goal. The goals are listed below. Teachers also created student incentive and teacher resource wish lists to help achieve their goal. Thank you to the businesses/organizations listed below for sponsoring the Reading Challenge by fulfilling the wish lists. We will track student progress using a bulletin board that all students pass on the way to lunch. We kicked off the challenge on November 26 by showing a short video created by our Art teacher, Lynda Foster.
