Read Across America Day!

Since the beginning of January, our students have taken a pledge of reading and embarked on the “Read Across America” journey, led by school librarian, Mrs. Sulkin.  With pages of books representing miles, the students had to“travel” all over the country, starting from the Empire State Building in NYC and ending at the Hollywood sign in Hollywood, CA.  Students in every grade have been reading as many books as possible, attempting to reach the goal of 2, 970 miles (pages)!! 

Yesterday, in celebration of “Read Across of America”, the entire HAMC took part in a school-wide DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) session.  For twenty minutes, every student in the school took a seat in the long hallway with a book in hand, sitting in silence and enjoying the simple pleasure of reading. Following the DEAR session, an ice cream social was held in celebration of the many “miles” our students have traveled.
