ReaderSpace Challenge

The Challenge

A different ReaderSpace challenge will be available to students each month. To participate students will complete the following:

1. Read a great book!

2. Schedule a time to come to the Media Center to complete a task regarding the book they read.

3. Students will only be allowed to complete one task a month to assure that we can rotate as many students as possible.

4. Students will receive a spirit stick for the efforts.
