Graphic with the text "Ridgecrest Reads to Succeed Reading Challenge: October Winners" with a pile of books and an apple

Ridgecrest had another successful month of our reading challenge!! For every ten minutes of reading, students fill out a little paper in the shape of a book in their teacher's color. Mrs. Gatzke collects them periodically and staples them onto the reading challenge bulletin board in the library. It filled up fast this month!

Ridgecrest Reads to Succeed bulletin board at the end of October! It shows all of the papers signifying time spent reading by students.

All of the grades participated and students were so excited to hear the results at the end of the month!
