These students in Mrs. Gough's and Mrs. Herrin's class completed their at-home reading challenge. In order to earn participation in the pizza party they needed to read at home at least 10 different days. For every time they read, they would get a red sticker symbolizing a pepperoni. Once they earned 10 pepperonis, their slice of pizza went in the pizza box. Some students earned, and almost earned, 2 pizza slices! Way to read, kiddos!!!
