We're excited to share a wonderful reading incentive program sponsored by Goochland Restaurant! Students can earn free rewards by reading and tracking their progress. Here's how it works: Students will receive a bookmark to log their reading. After completing 8 books, they can bring their bookmark to Goochland Restaurant and choose a reward: a free drink plus either fries, onion rings, or a cookie. The best part? Students can complete multiple bookmarks and earn multiple rewards (see Mrs. Dewey in the LC for additional bookmarks)! We hope this program encourages and celebrates our students' reading achievements.
Happy SRO Appreciation Day to Deputy Leabough!
