Reading Incentive Program
Students in Pre-K-5th grade participate in our reading incentive program established to promote reading outside the classroom. Goals are set for the various grade levels and when met, small incentives may be earned. If semester goals are achieved, students are invited to participate in a large group party as reward for their efforts. All students are highly encouraged to participate in this program for the betterment of their reading and overall academic progress.
