Our students set a new record for hours read during Rocket into Reading. They logged 5,122 hours of extra-curricular reading during a six week period that began with winter break. It was quite a site to watch the flight progress board fill with rockets and stars.
The overall school winner was Ms. Manuel's fifth graders. The leading classes per grade are as follows:
K - Ms. Dohman 163.5 hours
1st - Ms. Merz 248
2nd - Ms. Holt 307.5
3rd - Ms. Ndiaye 369.5
4th - Mr. Gehrke 442.5
5th - Ms. Manuel 484.5
The winter break competition resulted in a tie between 4th grader, Grace Farnham & 5th grader, Rongzhen Zhou, each having read 36 hours.
Holmes welcomed 24 guest readers on Guest Reader Day, including the police chief, two firefighters, Senator Don Harmon, several District 97 administrators, Dan Haley, publisher of the Wednesday Journal, student athletes from Dominican University and several friends & staff of the Holmes community.
Rocket into Reading wrapped up with 70 students and family members enjoying family reading night and the storytelling of Chris Fascione.
A special thanks to Donna Myers for an outstanding job with this years Rocket into Reading program. She put forth a tremendous effort. The staff and I applaud your hard work.
