            Twenty-one students from Garretson Elementary completed the 100 Book/Chapter Summer Reading Challenge this summer.  Students were challenged to read 100 books, 100 chapters from a book, or a combination of the two.  Mrs. Macziewski, the Title 1 Reading teacher, has put together a summer reading challenge for the last three years and is excited to see the number of students who have participated each year grow.  All students grades kindergarten through fifth grade were invited to participate.  This fall, students who filled out the required log after completing the reading challenge were able to order a book of their choice from the Scholastic Book Club.  The books were purchased by a Garretson family who value reading and want to encourage young readers. Students were also presented with a certificate for a free kid’s meal at Buffalo Wild Wings.
