These students completed the Winter Reading Challenge. Each of them spent time Reading over Winter Break and returned their forms to the librarian as a ticket to the Celebration. We made Root Beer Floats and each student recieved a pass to 1984 Acrade Branson. Thank you to Ron and the crew at 1984 for partnering with us to reward reading!
