CHES 5th-graders joined students around the world in a fun reading initiative.
Hannah Greeno's 5th-grade class at Cumberland Head Elementary School have been joining students around the world in an awesome reading competition with a fun football tie-in.
The READBowl is an initiative by Malcolm Mitchell, a retired wide receiver for the New England Patriots NFL team who now spends much of his time encouraging children to read.
Mitchell challenged students PreK-12th grade to compete for the most reading minutes.
Between school and home, Ms. Greeno's class spent a whopping 86 hours reading over four weeks.
"I am so proud of what they've accomplished!" she said.
The class celebrated with a READBowl party the Friday before the Super Bowl. Great job, Eagles!
Ms. Greeno's students were just some of the 808,674 participants in Mitchell's reading challenges this year, who combined for 528,338,768 minutes read.
