Roar into Reading
This week we are beginning a new initiative entitled "Roar into Reading." We are asking our students to read for 30 minutes a day or 2.5 hours a week at home. After they have done this, they will complete this reading log, which can also be picked up in their homeroom class, and turn it into Ms. Townsend in the media center. Once they have done that, they will be entered into a drawing where they will have the opportunity to win some cool and fun prizes.
