BOOK BOOGIE!
Reading rewards project. We select one Kosciusko elementary school each year. We partner with them to track the recreational reading of all grades (K-5th grade). Monthly awards are provided to two students from each grade (one top reader and one random reader) and one teacher/staff (they lead by example!). At the end of year, during the awards program, a grand prize will be given out to the top two reading students: Grades K-2; and top two reading students: Grades 3-5; and one top reading teacher.
