Grammar Readathon

“CAUGHT YOU READING” SNAP & SEND CONTEST

Readathon is off to a fantastic start, and students are already finding creative ways to rack up the minutes while diving into wonderful stories and literary classics.

Have you caught your child lost in a great book? Snap a pic and tag us on social media or email it to Mrs. Fisher. Each week, we’ll feature one reader in the Falcon Flyer, and that lucky student will earn a Raising Cane’s kids’ meal!

READATHON INFO

Next week, we’ll reveal our first House reading-minute totals—who’s in the lead? Stay tuned!
