My Project

Twice a year, my students compete in a school-wide reading challenge where they complete reading tasks for multiple weeks in order to win both participation prizes and top reader prizes. They love participating and getting rewarded! The medals, toys, and games will surely impress.

Please help keep my students motivated to complete these challenges by donating fun and exciting prizes they will want to win.

These will be used for our Winter Break Read-a-thon challenge, a three-week challenge to keep them reading over the time away from school. Other awards will be used for the Read Across America challenge in March, where the students complete specific reading tasks and enter reading related contests to celebrate Read Across America.

Our students look forward to these challenges and try hard to complete them. It's a part of what makes library class fun!
