What's Up in the LMC?
|
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.
