Announcing...ReadaGator!

Joe Romano
Every year our Lower School readers rally together in an event that promotes, provokes and motivates close, intensive reading of the many wonderful works we have in our classroom and library collections.

This year’s event is…READaGATOR!

Here’s how it works: From March 26 to April 11, Kindergarten through Grade 5 students are challenged to read for a combined total of 160,000 minutes. If they reach this goal, Mrs. Ball will spend an entire school day all dressed up as CHOMP, the Annie Wright Schools Mascot. If that’s not enough, the class that contributes the most minutes of reading to this overall goal will see CHOMP climb to the top of Annie Wright Schools, attach a Party-in-a-Box to a zipline, and send that Party-in-a-Box zipping down to that class. How awesome is that? Incredibly awesome. Indubitably awesome.

As K-5 makes progress, you’ll see a bulletin board outside of the Library & Learning Commons that will show the progress towards our goal. We’ll also post periodic updates on the blog to show our progress.
