Global Reading Challenge
Many of our 4th and 5th grade students have taken on the Global Reading Challenge, a reading challenge and incentive program in partnership with the King County Library System. Through this enriching program, students read six selected books and take quizzes to show what they know about each of the texts they have read. They meet weekly during a lunch time, and they practice writing and responding to thoughtful questions about each book. Our student participation has grown each year, and Mrs. Harnish, our Librarian-Teacher, is thrilled with our participation this year. We look forward to the school competition later this year.
