« Rising 6th Grade Immunizations | Main | Charger Day Tentatively Scheduled »

The state of Georgia requires that every student in grades 6 - 12 read 25 books each year or 1,000,000 words. Mabry students have done very well meeting this standard. All students who have met this requirement (and that's almost every chid at Mabry) will receive a special recognition from the Media Center.

I wanted to do something very special for our top readers from each grade level. We awarded 2 iPod Shuffles and 1 iPod Mini to the top three readers. In order to qualify for the award the students had to carefully document their reading all year long on their reading logs.

Congratulations to Kim in 8th grade for reading 58 books this year! She received an iPod Shuffle. Congratulations to Eric in 6th grade for reading 81 books this year! Eric received an iPod Shuffle! And congratulations to Sarah, in 7th grade, who read an unbelievable 167 books this year. Sarah loves to read and read almost 1 book per school day--incredible job Sarah!

I am proud all of our Mabry students who read 25 or more books this year, and I am especially proud of these top readers!
