Monte Vista Students Wrap Up Summer With Read-A-Thon

Posted on

The start of school is right around the corner, but some Monte Vista Elementary students have already visited the school to read a book. The school hosted a readathon party for everyone who completed their summer reading goals. Students grabbed a slice of pizza and a bowl of ice cream before settling down with a pillow and a blanket on the gym floor to read a book with their friends. Everyone who achieved their reading goals received a medal, and members of the 1,000-Minute Club took home a Mustang trophy for reaching an amazing milestone. 

Great job with your summer reading, Monte Vista!
