Books are the lifeline of learning. Having access to quality literature is becoming more and more scarce in our community. With the technical age and screen time, students rarely make time to read an actual book. The 2019/2020 school year at MES started with a challenge for each student to read at least 40 books by the end of the school year. To my surprise this program took on a life of it's own, and what I thought would be a handful of kids has now grown to 500. 500 Students have accepted the challenge, 500 students are reading. As an incentive to achieve their goal, I offer them a free book when they pass a personal reading goal. Students set goals and push themselves to become lifelong readers. The books in this project will catapult them to the next level of reading. My students are reading machines, and machines need fuel. Help fill us up!
