Granite Quarry students are truly Driven to Read this year! Books are being read, teachers are having conferences, minutes are being calculated, and those miles keep adding up! Granite students were surprised by a visit from Dusty Davis, NASCAR Camping World Series driver and Dylan Smith, NASCAR Drive for Diversity driver on Wednesday, December 21. These “Reading Racers” encouraged students to keep on reading and reach their goals! On Thursday, December 22 each homeroom sent their high mileage reader to a “Pizza with Dusty” party!
The first “Driven To Read” prize drawing was also held on Thursday. Granite Quarry had two students who have already accumulated 300 reading miles! Congratulations to Nora and Alicia! Each girl received an iPod Shuffle! K-2 will have their reading logs checked on January 19 and 20. 3-5 will have their reading logs checked on January 25-27.
