Reach For The Stars Literacy Campaign

To ensure that our students are exercising their brains at home during the NJASK testing season, Pride Academy is launching the "REACH FOR THE STARS" Literacy Campaign.

Students are being challenged to read at least 30 minutes a night for two weeks. Students are also being asked to get pledges from sponsors. Students will use the money that they collect to purchase their own books to read over the summer vacation. Other incentives include certificates, trophies, and a dress down day.

Teachers are getting the students motivated to read by challenging the whole student body to read for a total of 72,000 minutes. If the students reach this challenge, the teachers will perform the "THRILLER DANCE" for the school community. Students are encouraged to read beyond the 30 minutes a day in order to ensure they reach their school-wide goal.

Let’s work together to reach for the STARS and READ for life and leisure!
