My name is Wendy Hooks and I am the Success Coach for Carver Elementary. My focus here at Carver is to promote a love for reading among the students. The month of February we have a big challenge for our students. The challenge is called "Pedaling Towards Reading Success." Students are being challenged to read as many books as they can on their levels with a score of 100 on the quizzes. The boy and girl with the most 100s will be the winners in each 3rd and 4th grade class. There will also be a Most Improved Student in each class. These students will be selected by Mrs.Smith and myself. Winners will be awarded a brand new bicycle and helmet. Wow - what a prize!!!! We will also award one third grade class and one fourth grade class with a class party. In order to win the class prize, the class must have the most 100s in their grade level. The two classes that win will receive a class cookie decorating party, a small trophy and a bike pin for their medaillons. Please make sure your child is reading each night for twenty to thirty minutes. This is so important!!! If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. My email is whooks@waynecss.org "There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book," Frank Serafini
