Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School Students Get Fun Reward for Reading Success

Posted on

When you set a goal and find success good things usually happen. That was especially true for students at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School. Principal Ross Menlove challenged the students to do their very best attending “Walk to Read” this session, and students did just that. They had 80% attendance in “Walk to Read,” and then claimed their reward. That reward was watching Principal Menlove and Mr. Southworth get slimed with big buckets of green and blue slime.

Congratulations students for your dedication to success in “Walk to Read,” and thanks to Mr. Menlove and Mr. Southworth for being such good sports. Way to go G.O.A.T.’s!!!
