草榴社区app County 草榴社区apps is thrilled to announce the resounding success of the 2023-2024 "Race to Read" campaign. This district-wide initiative aimed to foster a love of reading by engaging students, parents, and staff in a collective effort to read 15 million minutes during the school year. Remarkably, the 草榴社区app County 草榴社区apps community exceeded this ambitious goal, reading an astonishing 30,468,440 minutes!
"We are immensely proud of our students, parents, and staff for overwhelming participation and dedication to this initiative," said Kurt Browning, Superintendent of 草榴社区app County 草榴社区apps. "Reading is the foundation of all learning, and the incredible number of minutes read this year demonstrates our community's commitment to education and literacy."
Congratulations are in order for Moon Lake Elementary, Pine View 草榴社区app 草榴社区app, and 草榴社区app High 草榴社区app, which emerged as the champions of their respective categories. Thanks to generous grant funding, these schools will each receive a celebratory banner and 500 paperback books to distribute to students next year.
Additionally, several schools achieved significant milestones and have been awarded digital badges created by Beanstack. The following schools were awarded Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals based on their reading achievements:
Gold Medals (1 million minutes or more)
Silver Medals (500,000 minutes or more)
Bronze Medals (250,000 minutes or more)
"Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's 'Race to Read,'" said Browning. "Your hard work and enthusiasm have surpassed our expectations and inspired a continued commitment to literacy and learning within our community."
