The fourth grade students participated in a 40 Book Challenge this year in which they each worked towards reading 40 books from a variety of genres. Twelve students read 40 or more books and were rewarded with a surprise trip to Klindt's Booksellers and Stationers to experience a real bookstore and choose a book to keep for their hard work. Thank you to the Ranger Pride Education Foundation for providing the funds to purchase these books, and thank you to Klindt's for your donation as well!
