ππΎ PANTHERS, ARE YOU READY FOR A MILLION-WORD READING CHALLENGE? ππ
At Lecanto Middle School, we believe literacy opens doors to future education, careers, and success in life! We also believe that reading for enjoyment builds essential skills, sparks imagination, and creates a lifelong love of reading. π
One of our favorite sights is watching students browse our library, discover their next great book, and immediately dive into its pages!
Today, we kicked off THE PRINCIPALβS MILLION-WORD READING CHALLENGE! π
π Since July, Mrs. Frederick has read an incredible 1,469,065 WORDS!
π― THE CHALLENGE: Read 1,469,065 words or MORE by December 11!
π¨ THE CELEBRATION: Every student who meets or beats Mrs. Frederickβs word count will be invited to a special ICE CREAM SUNDAE CELEBRATION on December 15!
We know that getting lost in a wonderful book is a reward all its own! β€οΈ But weβre going to make that intrinsic reward a little sweeter by celebrating our readers with a delicious ice cream sundae! π¦π
Because every page turned, every story discovered, and every minute spent reading is an investment in a brighter future!
Letβs get reading, Panthers! The challenge is ON! πΎπ
