Reading Challenge, 2009-2010

This is the end of the year and I know that you are tired and wished that school was already over and done with but, there's something to brighten your last few days at Galt. The Reading Challenge for the 2009-2010 school year is now coming to its completion.

We exceeded our expectations both by the number of students registered and by the number of pages read. You might be surprise, and I mean really surprise to find out that our top readers are boys! Yes, Jacob Courtemanche and Guillaume Audit are number 1 and 2!! Who said that only girls were good readers. Of course, the "Wheel of time" Series (12 books of around 1,000 pages each) helped but they still had to read them plus a whole lot more. Our 3rd top reader for boys is Darrin Prine who suggested the Chris D'Lacey Series on dragons that has been a regular top loan at the library. Even teachers read them!

Our top readers for the girls are: Jaimie Dawson-Cloutier, Victoria Aiken and Rebecca MacMillan. Jaimie and Rebecca were in the top 3 last year as well. We will give away the prizes on Friday so, come back to see the pictures.
