Principal Woods challenged the elementary students with a tall task earlier this year. He asked them to read over 50,000 minutes before the end of the year. With about 2 weeks of the year left we counted up everyone's totals and they read a total of 61,178 minutes, crushing the goal! The reward, Mr. Woods and Mr. Griffin were made into a human sundae!
