March Reading Moves Mustang Closer to the Million Mark

Discovery students are almost to the million-minute finish line. As of the beginning of April, 950,352 minutes of reading have been tallied. Great job to the students for reading and the parents for keeping track. Only one month left to get those final 50,000 minutes.

The top readers for March are:
Pre-K: A girl from Mrs. Baranco's class
K: A girl from Mrs. Sorenson's class
1st: A boy from Mrs. Croft's class
2nd: A boy from Mrs. Watkins' class
3rd: A girl from Mrs. Jackson's class
4th: A girl from Mrs. Spenner's class
5th: A boy from Mrs. Wright's class

To celebrate the reading, the Discovery PTA will treat the students to an assembly on Friday, April 10, with storyteller Jim Cogan. Storyteller Cogan will provide an energetic and funny presentation of folklore as part of his Read Across America program.

The two assemblies will be at 9:30 and 10:40 a.m. Parents of preschoolers and afternoon kindergartners are welcome to bring their students to the assembly at either time.

Don't forget to keep reading to count those final minutes. April calendars will be due Wednesday, April 29, and then we will celebrate the students' reading milestone with the Million Minutes Reading Festival from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 1!
