This year the Grant students set an Accelerated Reading goal of 20 million words by the end of the year. Our principal, Troy Berryman agreed to kiss a pig if they met their goal.
Delva Santee, our long time AR facilitator spearheaded the project. For each million words read, a cartoon pig was placed in a prominent area in the hallway. The students could then track their progress throughout the school year.
By the beginning of May the Grant students had read well over the goal. Mr. Berryman had to pucker up and kiss a squealing pig! The student then enjoyed pig cookies decorated by Mrs. Santee.
