Sparky's Reading Program

Starting September 1, RES will be participating in “Sparky’s Reading Program” which has been thoughtfully put together by Central Virginia Orthodontics and Liberty University.

Reading Goals: • 5 books for the first goal • 7 books for the second goal 

Rewards: • If the first goal is met, students will be entered to win a signed football by Coach Chadwell • If the second goal is met, students will receive 1 student ticket + 2 guest tickets to the 11/23 football game (digital tickets)

Students in 4th and 5th grade:

Reading Goals: • 3 books for the first goal • 4 books for the second goal 

Rewards: • If the first goal is met, students will be entered to win a signed football by Coach Chadwell • If the second goal is met, students will receive 1 student ticket + 2 guest tickets to the 11/23 football game (digital tickets) 

As your child achieves their reading goals, please fill out the bookmark (Either on this link or sent home by your child’s teacher) with the titles, numbers of pages and dates finished for each book. All bookmarks need to be completed and turned into teachers by the due date: September 30th, 2024.
