First-grader Akasha Lee Seda was one of eight students named as winners in the district’s 2023 Summer Reading Challenge for logging the most time reading this summer among all participants at each of their grade levels. Akasha individually logged 495 minutes of reading time during the summer-long program.
Combined, the eight winners logged more than 200 hours, which paid off for them in several ways: They enjoyed the books they read and helped maintain their reading skills over the summer, and they also were awarded a tablet to take home and use as they please. Their teachers hope they will use the devices to keep on reading!
