Read for the STARS


For every hour you read, bring in a star. For every 100 hours students read, another star goes on our flag for a state in our union. The class with the most hours read each week is honored with a Read for the Stars trophy. Read for 600 minutes and earn a free pass to Six Flags Great America and a voucher to a Kane County Cougars baseball game.
Be sure and take note of the states represented by your stars! Remember, teachers can help their class too!
