Our SMCES 5th-grade students wrapped up their March Madness Reading Challenge today, and what an incredible month it was!
Congratulations to our winning team — The Hoopers — with an amazing 15,198 minutes read!
A special shoutout to our MVR (Most Valuable Reader), Nikki Violette, who went above and beyond and earned some awesome prizes, including a brand new basketball, a one-pound chocolate bunny, and more!
A HUGE thank you to our generous families who donated prizes and helped make this event so special!
The Hoopers will celebrate their victory with a dress-down day this Thursday and a pizza lunch party!
Altogether, our 5th graders read an incredible 68,022 minutes — what an accomplishment! Keep up the great work and keep reading!
