READ-A-THON PARTICIPANTS HONORED

On Friday, students participating in the Summer Read-a-thon gathered to celebrate their achievements. Elaine Donohue and Liz Rosenberry gathered the group in the library to award prizes and announce the results. More than 100 students participated with many students reaching or surpassing the personal reading goals they set for themselves. Overall, the group read nearly 1,500 books and raised more than $5,000 for new books for the Wildwood library. A great big THANK YOU to these students and to their families who encouraged them and supported their reading. The following students were recognized for their high achievement in their grade level:

Grade 1 Amy Benedetto, Emily Warren
Grade 2 Brandon Feldman
Grade 3 Karen Benedetto, Jonah Weinbaum, Madeleine Fordham
Grade 4 Liliya Miller, Isabel Tripp
Grade 5 Isaac Siegel, Ian Robson
Grade 6 Hannah Treloar, Jennie Lytel-Sternberg, Erin O’Connor

Amazing Readers at Wildwood

Those participating in the Read-a-thon sure read an amazing amount over the summer! They have also done a terrific job raising funds for their school library. So far they have raised $3,190.00—and still counting! If you have not already done so, please turn in your pledge money and book lists to your child’s classroom teacher, or drop them off with Ms. Champoux in the office. We will be handing out prizes to all who turn in pledge money by Friday Sept. 14. Participants will celebrate their accomplishments in the school library on Friday Sept. 21 at 2pm. If you did not get a chance to participate, but would like to contribute to help out the library, checks can be made payable to Wildwood PTO. If you have any questions contact lrosenberry@verizon.net.
