2012 Read-A-Thon

Our 2012 Read-a-Thon was a HUGE success thanks to the almost 600 parent, grandparent and community volunteers who came to read with our students.  

(Yes, you read that right almost 600 volunteers! Amazing!)

We really appreciate those who took time out of their busy schedules to show our students the importance of reading!  You are all wonderful and we appreciate your support!

We were fortunate enough to have many from our community come to support our school in showing our students the importance of reading.  We'd like to thank the Provo Police Department for the many officers who came out to read.  It was really exciting for some of our students to have the opportuntity to read with police officers! 

A special thank you to the following state and community officials 
who took time to come show support:
  Utah State Office of Education Title 1 Specialist, Becky Donaldson;  Provo School District Superintendent, Keith Rittel; Provo School District Assistant Superintendent, Ray Morgan; Provo School District Title 1 Director, Gaye Gibbs; Provo School District ESL Director, Julene Kendell; and Provo City Council members, Kay Van Buren and Gary Winterton. 

It was a great opportunity for all our Aviators to share this special time reading together.
Thank You!
