25 Book Challenge
Finding time to read can be difficult even when you love to read. Between practices, homework, and helping out Mom and Dad there is barely enough time relax, let alone read. However, studies have shown that reading for both pleasure and information leads to academic success. Plus, it forces us to stop, relax, and lose ourselves in a world that isn't our own. Whether you like to read mysteries, fantasy, realistic fiction, magazines, or graphic novels the important thing is to make time for reading. This year we are challenging staff and students to read 25 books from the beginning of October to the end of May. Are you up for the Challenge?
