Principal Scott of Maple Grove Elementary school set reading goals for her students. She made a deal if they met her goal she would spend a night on the school roof. She would imagine they would meet the goal sometime in March or April but they actually met it in January! So she had to spend the night in 10 degree weather and her students brought her hand warmers and hot chocolate to keep her warm. They read more than six thousand books combined to meet their goal.
I thought this story was very warming, I think it was great encouragement for the students. It's very important for students to start reading at a young age and hopefully learn to make it a habit. I think schools should really continue to enforce things like " I love to read month," is an example of what we did in our school and I'm sure many other schools do it to. It's a great way to get kids to read and make reading fun.
