Students at Our Lady of Lourdes take part in record-setting national reading practice challenge!Students at Our Lady of Lourdes engaged in valuable reading practice and took part in setting a new national record in “Read The Most From Coast To Coast,” on March 1. Students contributed to a new national record of 4,409,622 Accelerated Reader Quizzes passed in one day! “Read The Most from Coast To Coast,” a national Renaissance Learning event that began last school-year, challenges students to break the record for the number of Accelerated Reader Quizzes taken in one day. U.S. students topped last year’s record of 3,581,992 quizzes. Accelerated Reader is a reading software program in which students read a book at the appropriate level and take a computerized quiz that measures their reading comprehension. Accelerated Reader has quizzes on more than 150,000 books, nearly half of which are on nonfiction books. Accelerated Reader provides immediate feedback on students’ comprehension. As part of this event, the Web-based program tracked quizzes passed nationwide and shared results in real time with an online quiz counter. “Read The Most From Coast To Coast enabled students to take part in a shared reading adventure while becoming better readers,” said Ms. Ellmaker, “ Seeing real-time progress toward the goal was fun for students and they enjoyed being part of a national effort. They were really excited when they topped last year’s quiz-taking record.” All students at Our Lady of Lourdes who took part in this nationwide challenge received a Certificate of National Participation.

God Bless America!
On Monday, Sept. 17 our students celebrated Constitution Day by wearing red, white, and blue.
As a federally funded school we have a duty to commemorate the day the Constitution was signed. This is the 225th anniversary of the signing. Some of the eighth grade students presented information about our Constitution and a readers’ theatre presentation of the Preamble to all of the students in both the annex and the big building. The presentation included a Smartboard display of the Preamble and the whole school saying the Pledge of Allegiance at the same time.
