Reading Olympics

All students who read certain amounts to reach the gold, silver or bronze level received a medal (K-3) or ribbon (4/5).
All students who read were entered into a draw. This year we had three prizes, one for K/1, one for 2/3 and one for 4/5. Each prize consisted of a glow in the dark blanket and a book.
