Bulldog Book Club encourages reading

Under the direction of FCCLA members, Brook Hofland and Cana McInerney, the Bulldog Book Club has been encouraging kindergarteners in Mrs. Hanson's and Mrs. Marchant's students to read. Thirty students have been challenged to read five books a week for the last five months.

Seventh grade reading students had the opportunity to partner with FCCLA to read with the younger students. It's a program that promotes reading role models, which is very important for a beginning reader.

Overall, the children have read more than 800 books. The two kindergarten students who read the most with the program are Colton Bankenbush and Nora Wood.
