Bartlett Reads Because of Winn Dixie

Bartlett Elementary School invites all families and staff to read the wonderful book, Because of Winn Dixie. On Tuesday, March 17th, we will have special All School Meeting to talk about this great opportunity. Be sure to look for the reading calendar and letter and book in your child's backpack on Tuesday.

Why are we doing this?

1. Because of Winn Dixie is a great book.
2. Studies show that children who read and are read to do better in school.
3. Sharing a common book is a fun way to bring the school community together.

Can this count for the reading incentive program?

YES! Absolutely.

Speaking of the Dive into Reading program, a special congratulations goes to Mrs. Audley's class of first and second graders who reached 100% participation! There are several other classes that are very close to reading 100%. Keep up the great reading. The last day for reading papers is May 15th.
