The Read Across America Challenge is back.  Starting Monday March 1^st and ending Friday April 9^th.  We are challenging each mustang to read at least 30 minutes a night.  For every 15 minutes a student reads they get to color in a state in their packet.  Every student who attempts the challenge gets a small prize and those who read enough to color in all 50 states will receive two small prizes and have their names announced on the morning news. All the materials (Instructions, log and map) are on the WSES website. If you have any questions please email Mr. Rigsby at @email or Mrs. Carney at @email
