READ Challenge update: In Week 6, we had a class total of 5615 verified minutes, with 85% of our class turning in home reading minutes that were verified by a parent. This is an increase from the previous week! So far, 10 of our students have reached or exceeded our goal of 1000 minutes each, with many more so very close.

Our READ Challenge officially ends on May 31. Don't forget to bring your verified minutes for the last week on Monday morning.
