Accelerated Reader Ceremony

At William's school, they have a program called "Accelerated Reader." As the kids read books during the school year, they go into the computer lab (either before or after school with a parent or sometimes during the day in class) to take comprehension quizzes. The books are assigned a point value - anywhere from 0.5 points to 5 points. Most of Will's books were 0.5 points or 1 point. Each grade level has a different scale for bronze, silver, and gold medals. William reached "gold" status back in January but continued to take quizzes. Today was the award ceremony. It took place during their lunch period. The students were called up on stage and were given their awards. We're very proud of our little reader!

Most parents bring in a special lunch... like Jimmy John's!
