Draper students challenged to read 25 books

Picture of students who read 25 booksFor the first time, this past school year Draper MS issued a 25 Book Reading Challenge to students in grades 6-8. Once a book was read, students filled out a star for "The Galaxy of Reading Stars" which was displayed on the wall in front of the Draper Library.

The program kicked-off in October with author Daniel Hayes. He spoke about and autographed his books for the students. A dinner of pizza, beverage and ice cream was provided. Students brought sleeping bags, blankets and a book to read during the evening celebration.

Then, those students who completed the challenge (pictured here) celebrated with a "Make Your Own Sundae" party on Thursday, June 5. They were given certificates, a book and a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble.

Students who completed the challenge include:

  • 6th graders: Tyler Ronan; Laura Treers and Gabrielle Tegiacchi (not pictured)

  • 7th grader: Aislinn Elmore

  • 8th graders: Trevina Litchmore; Dan Howland

Special thanks go to Ms. Manno, Mrs. Male, the Draper Student Council and the PTSO for their support.
