L.P. Students Love to Read!

February is “I Love to Read Month” for Lester Prairie Elementary Students.  Children of all ages are reading and tracking their minutes in order to help the principal, Mr. Boyer, “Race Across the U.S.A.”  For every ten minutes read, he travels one mile on the United States Map.  Mr. Boyer began his trip in Alaska, and his destination is New York City.  At every stop along the way, students will learn fun facts about that location.  If the principal makes it to New York City by the end of February, all of the elementary students will celebrate with ice cream sundaes.  Other activities for “I Love to Read Month” include daily book trivia questions with prizes and decorating classroom doors in a reading theme.
