THIS IS IT! We've made it to the last day of READING OLYMPICS! Today is the day to give it your best and read as much as you can so it can count towards your minutes goal. Don't forget that D.E.A.R minutes read during school today count towards your goal, too!


We also have the results of our second Guess the Masked Reader competition for this year. All Reading Olympic teams viewed the videos and submitted their guesses. Once again, we got a lot of creative answers! Here's how the season ended:


Gaston by Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Christian Robinson

Masked Reader Contestant: "Stewie the Ski Slope Pup" = Mrs. Kamholz


What Do You Do with an Idea? by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Mae Besom

Masked Reader Contestant: "The HarleQueen" = Senora Garza


The winners:

Team Gregersen won the drawing for Gaston

Team Zeh won the drawing for What Do You Do with an Idea?


And an honorable mention to Team Redlin who was the only class to guess all four contestants correctly this year!


Keep going for the GOLD, Reading Olympians!
