Turn up the heat...for reading

One hundred and seventeen thousand. That’s a big number.

 

Originally the goal for the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Elementary students was to read 50,000 minutes for Turn Up the Heat for Reading Week, which was March 2-6.

But they exceeded that goal by Wednesday. A new one of 95,000 minutes was then set.

 

By Friday afternoon, the students had easily surpassed that number, too. Altogether, they racked up 117,524 minutes.

 

"I am so proud of my C-G-D students,” said Kaira Downing, the elementary art teacher. “They more than doubled our original goal.”
