Blue Rocks Reminder

February 18, 2010 This year AGIS is once again participating in Rocky’s Reading Challenge program sponsored by the Wilmington Blue Rocks. This challenge requires students to read a minimum of 8 books. Students may count any books they have read from January 2010 until March 11. This would also include any books read in the classroom as a book study. Simply record the book titles and turn the list in to your child’s teacher. Winter is a great time to relax and read.
