Jeffrey Rock and Vincenza Deschamps. Congratulations!
On Friday, November 23, all students at Walter B. Howard Elementary tallied their reading log sheets to see if they reached their school-wide reading goal of 60,000 minutes. They surpassed their goal reading a total of 61,257 in just two weeks. The prize? Principal Andrew Kourt dancing to “Whip Nae Nae.”
According to Principal Kourt, providing students with a goal to work towards, students are more enthusiastic and excited to read. By reading books that are “just right” for them, they become better readers.
The following students were the top readers for their class. Back Row: Malina Woodbury, Makayah Boyd-Benson, Stephanie Ligotti, Sadie Giumarra, Tyler Woodbury, Tyler Carinci, Front Row: Brady Munsinger, Cadence Ward, Jacob Olin, Devin Reichert, Alexis Fernandez, Maddisyn Kreutziger, Tucker Schroder.
