Horizon's ReadOlympics
 During January 11th - February 11th, HMS students and staff were challenged to read 500,000 pages. Each week, their pages were tallied, and the three home bases that read the most proudly displayed the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals on their doors.
On February 12th, an awards ceremony was held in the gym, presenting the three winning home bases with these Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals (along with an extra sweet treat)! Jody Kerzman from KFYR-TV televised the event! Click on the picture to check out the full story.
Here are the results: Gold Medal: Ms. Frase's Home Base: 42,382 pages Silver Medal: Ms. Lutjen's Home Base: 41,370 pages Bronze Medal: Mr. Ziemann's Home Base: 37,331 pages
Total Pages Read: 497,921!
Did you know that the amount of time a student spends reading is "the major predictor of academic success in Reading, Math, AND Science"? In fact, 'the top 5 percent of U.S. students read up to 144 times more than those in the bottom 5 percent" (Atwell).
So...Read to Succeed, Huskies!
