Welcome to the Copper Canyon Reading Challenge!
If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.
– Ronald Dahl
Students, your quest, if you choose to accept it, is to read all 10 books on your grade level list before the end of the school year!
When you finish a book from your list, fill out a sign-off slip and take it to the library to get your book pin, then add the pin to the lanyard that you received at the beginning of the year.
We have additional copies of each title in the library, so everyone will have a chance for success! We can’t wait to follow along as you accept the challenge to become an ultimate Copper Canyon reader!
Pins may also be earned for attendance, academic growth, and positive citizenship.
