Hannah Cullen and Isabell Macgill are the district’s top readers in the First Grade Reading Incentive Contest.  The purpose of the contest was to help foster a love of reading at an early age and to assist in the district’s goal of having every first grade student reading on grade level by the end of the 2007-2008 school year.

 

Hannah, a student at Marshpoint Elementary, is the 1st place winner.  She wins a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble and a plaque.  Her class will also receive an ice cream social from Leopold’s Ice Cream.  In addition, the Marshpoint Media Center will receive $1250.  Isabell attends J.G. Smith Elementary.  As 2nd place winner she gets a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble and a certificate.  The J.G. Smith Media Center will receive $750.

 

More than 50,000 books were read by SCCPSS first graders in the Reading Incentive Program.  The program was made possible through a partnership with SCCPSS, Leopold’s Ice Cream, International Paper and Barnes and Noble.
