Kirbyville Elementary takes on the Raise a Reader Challenge

KES Families,

Help our school win $5,000 for our library! We've entered a nationwide reading contest and we need your help. The Raise a Reader School Challenge, sponsored by the International Reading Association, Parents magazine, and Parents.com, is rewarding the school that reads the most this spring.


Starting March 8, follow this link http://parents.com/reading/kirbyvilleelementaryschoolkirmo and register your K-3 child for the reading program. The program is totally free and records minutes, books read, and even has a print option if you'd like to track your little reader's achievements. Individual readers are also eligible to win $50 gift cards to Barnes and Noble.


For your convenience, the opportunity to register will be provided at Passport to Success on Thursday, March 11. If you do not have a computer or Internet access, you will be able to turn in your reading minutes on paper and they can be entered in your child's account by a parent volunteer.


Please let Addie Gaines know if you have any questions about the program.
