Reading is foundational to every subject—and to life, and a love for reading is a treasure. Books not only serve as tools for learning, they allow us the opportunity to travel and to experience places, people and adventures in a fun, fresh way—all without leaving our seats! We are pleased to announce the results of the “Let’s RRRRead!” program. This 5-week program was established by a team of BJA Elementary School teachers and administration and was geared specifically to the needs and interests of our own students. Each grade level was assigned a specific reading time goal, and each Monday the students reported their reading time from the previous week. True to our very own BJA mascot, the theme was the lion.
496 students completed the reading program. Many teachers, including classroom teachers and related arts teachers, as well as 3 administrators also finished the 5 weeks of the program and met their goal each time.
This is an incredible completion rate: 83% of our school completed the program without missing a week!
