Readers rewarded at WLMS

Published July 9, 2003

West Lincoln Middle School recently announced its list of top students within the Reading Counts program for the 2002-03 school year.

Students took computer tests on books they read and could accumulate points based on their knowledge of the books. Those who earned a certain amount of points received rewards such as pencils, pens, water bottles and a pizza lunch.

Students earning 500 or more points spent a day helping the principal and received a trophy and special recognition.

WLMS’s top readers for 2002-03 were:

· Patrick Welch, sixth grade, 652 points.

· Laura McBryde, seventh grade, 580 points.

· Sadie Redding, sixth grade, 545 points.

· Jordan Cash, sixth grade, 531 points.

· Nicki Walker, sixth grade, 516 points.

· Beth Beaver, eighth grade, 512 points.

· Laura Barrett, sixth grade, 511 points.

· Olivia Reid, sixth grade, 506 points.

Students are encouraged to continue reading over the summer and keep a list of the books they read. During the first week of school, students will be able to take tests on their summer reading.

The West Lincoln Library keeps a list of Reading Counts tests available at WLMS.
