A Million Words!....Have you ever read a million words in nine months or less? That is exactly what we challenged our students to do. Richland Elementary has two outstanding students who have done just that! Cory and Jaxon accepted the challenge and successfully read A MILLION WORDS before the end of the year!

Students who successfully completed the Mark Twain Award Nominee Challenge read and passed five novels to earn lunch at Culver's! Mark Twain Award Nominee novels are chapter books chosen and voted on by Missouri students and teachers each year.

The "20 Book Challenge"...should it be accepted....was given to students at the beginning of the year. They were given a challenge grid with different book topics and genres to read and mark off. The books they read had to be in their reading level. Students also had to have a passing AR test to "mark" a challenge off.
Congratulations to these students who accepted the Challenge. They have earned a trip to the Branson Aquarium!
