On October 6, 2014, Ms. Homolka implemented an eight-week long reading program for the elementary school. This program is designed so that children will read more while they’re at home. The program has a fish theme, and as an incentive they receive Goldfish or Swedish Fish for reading the required amount. In addition, the grand prize for the top twenty readers is to go on a trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo. The children have to fill out a paper fish cut out, which must be signed by their parents after they read the assigned amount. This program is a clear way to get students “hooked” on reading!
