Submitted by joann.kirk on Fri, 11/02/2012 - 16:19

On Friday October 26, the sixth grade classes had a read-a-thon.  The read-a-thon was a competition between the three sixth grade classes to see who could read the most pages.

Mrs. Groneman, one of the sixth grade teachers, said the reason for the read-a-thon was that the sixth-graders deserved to have a fun time for all their hard work and because it was the end of a successful first term.
