Blanche Sims Elementary School kicked off its Reading Season with the Book Action Awards on Oct. 24.
Every fall, the school’s Reading Team promotes reading as a ‘life-long sport.? This year’s theme is ‘Book Action: Check it Out.?
The awards were given to the school’s favorite books, played by teachers. The kids also helped spot mistakes as teachers made a ‘movie? about proper reading techniques.
The Reading Season runs for four weeks, and if the students in grades K-5 read 5,000 books during that time, they get to choose a stunt for principal Eric Whitney to perform.
The stunt will be performed on Dec. 2.
