Read 2009 Goal Exceeded:
Auburn
Middle School
students and staff members were challenged in August, 2009 to read 5,500 books by May, 2010. Students and adults completed READ 2009 slips for each book they read. Progress reports were issued periodically, and we raced to meet our goal in time for our author visit by Wendy Mass on May 13. We're proud to report that we exceeded our goal by 630 books, reading a grand total of 6,130 books.
Students are encouraged to keep a list of books they read during this summer, 2010, so that they can complete slips for these books when they return to school in August. We'll distribute slips to teachers at that time and begin documentation toward our READ 2010 challenge of reading 6,150 books (increase of 10% over this year's goal).
This reading incentive program was begun the year Auburn Middle School opened, with a goal of 2004 books in honor of our "birth" year, 2004.
