Our final tally of total minutes read was really impressive – 141,900 total minutes read by students, teachers, and staff in 30 days! We had 163 students, teachers, and staff participate by turning in reading logs at least once throughout the month and 69 students reached Mountain Lion Reader status (450 minutes for grades K-2, 600 minutes for grades 3-4, and 900 minutes for grades 5-6).
We also raised over $5,100 for PTO activities such as trips to the Flynn Theater, classroom fieldtrips, providing after school enrichment opportunities, the World Language Program through Middlebury College, the Four Winds Nature Program, contributing toward programs such as the Artists in Residence, helping provide materials for classrooms and much more!
Events such as Rock and Read week, Jason Chin’s author visit, Character Dress-up Day and Mystery Reader Week were all fun and celebrated the reading students had been doing.
Thanks to all the students for the many hours they put into reading, to the parents for encouraging their students, for the community for supporting through sponsor pledges, and for the teachers and staff for their engagement and enthusiasm! A special thanks to the Read-a-thon committee members: Betsy Knox, Holly Esterline, Stephanie Murray, Nicole Christman, Casey Underwood, and Anna Lester. A special thanks to parent volunteers such as Jen Stanley and John McNerney for help with tallying and counting.
