YORKTOWN — French Hills Elementary School is pleased to celebrate the end of its month-long read-a-thon this Friday March 28, 2008.
Throughout the month the kids racked up nearly 6,000 15-minute sessions after school hours, far out-reading their goal of 5,000.
Some of the highlights over the last several weeks included an exciting visit by Superintendent Ralph Napolitano for “Guest Reader Day,” an animated visit by illustrator Brian Pinkney and the most anticipated visit by the dogs of “Reluctant Readers.” Students, who are reluctant to read, read to dogs as a way to build confidence and security with reading.
