It's time to start reading.....
From January 1 to January 31, Autrey Mill will participate in Beanstack’s Fifth Annual Winter Reading Challenge, “Read for a Better World,” sponsored by Lerner Publishing Group. We challenge our school to read at least 150,000 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site. Students can access Beanstack by going to Classlink, clicking eLibrary, then clicking Beanstack. Thousands of other libraries and schools across the nation are joining in too, for a chance at winning prizes including book collections, signed books, and virtual author visits. Our school is currently ranked #1 in logged minutes in Fulton County, but other schools are catching up quickly!
Happy reading, Lions!
