Students Challenged to Read 100,000 Minutes













Students not only set reading goals and learned about cyber safety, they earned money to help support the PTO that funds lots of school projects.
"It was a fantastic, very fun, fundraiser that got our kids reading, while learning about cyber safety and raising money all at once," PTO representative Liana Murray said. "Our goals were to raise $4,500, and read for 100,000 minutes."
Students surpassed the goal, read 105,678 minutes and raised $6,242.
Dr. John Mayberry, principal, promised to color his hair pink on March 10, 2017 if the goal was met. He kept his word. Ms. Murray did the honors of spray-painting his hair.
Ms. Murray and GATE/Computer teacher Danielle Czegan coordinated the program.
Students could log on to a special program and log hours read, cheer on their fellow classmates and see who was reading.
Top readers received a certificate and gift certificate for the upcoming book fair. Second Grader Evan Daruwalla was the top reader with 3,231 minutes logged.
