May 03, 2024 -- Imagine reading nonstop for more than seven days. When done alone, a task of that magnitude seems insurmountable, but together, students around the District successfully did just that.
During spring break, Columbus City Schools students participated in the Hop Into A Good Book! Scholastic LitPro Spring Reading Challenge. The challenge encouraged them to pick up a book during their week off from school. Students rose to the challenge and read a combined 10,227 minutes.
Congratulations to all schools and students who participated in the spring challenge. Below are the top schools and students.
