Winter Reading Challenge

With the long stretch of a New England winter ahead of us, how about signing up for the HHS Library's Winter Reading Challenge?  Your goal is to read as many books (fiction, nonfiction, graphic novel, etc. - any book counts!) as you can by the first day of spring.

Those students who read the greatest number of books will be entered into a raffle for a iTunes gift card. ALL students and staff who participate will be invited to a library celebration at the culmination of our challenge.

Interested? Please see Mrs. Fournier to pick up your entry forms! The challenge runs January 3rd through March 20th.

Good Luck!
