Attention all K-12 Summer Readers
All K-12 elementary, middle, and high schools are eligible to win the prize of a performer at their school! The school with the highest percentage of student participation will win the prize for a performance during the school year! Percentages, rather than a sum total of individuals, are used in order to maintain equity between large schools and smaller schools.
