Read for 15” Reading Challenge
At the beginning of this year, our school began the Read for 15 program, brought to you by the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. This challenge encourages students to read 15 minutes a day for 15 weeks. Each week, students were asked to mark off the days they met their reading goal and record their favorite book of the week.
Your child’s reading log, which was sent home by Mrs. Thoman, our librarian, at the beginning of the school year, is due Monday, December 8th.
If your child needs a new copy, please contact Mrs. Thoman at thomanr@usd204.net, and she will be happy to provide one.
