The Smokey Bear Reading Challenge ended on August 31st. We had a total of 17 readers enter the challenge that ran from July21st to August 31st. The six week program ended up with a total of 19,732 minutes read. The program was open to all ages. The goal was for each reader to meet the assigned 720 minutes.
We had three readers meet the 100% goal and over. They included Kaydence Myers, Ivanna Quintero, and Doris Voss. We also had three readers almost make the reading goal. They met 94% of the goal. These readers included Meliana Bothma, Leon Carpenter, and Jaiden Lehn.
Four readers met the 65-73% goal. They included Oakley Davis, Kimber Davis, Kimberlyn Doke, and Monsterrat Muno. Sienna Myers met 53% of the goal. We had six readers under the 50%.
I want to thank all the readers who joined this reading challenge. Smokey the Bear and the library staff are very proud of our readers.
