During their reading journey this year lots of prizes were given out. Prizes included Marvin stickers, silly socks & a no shoes in class day, a book from the vending machine, lunch bunch with 2 friends, a picture with Marvin and a gator reader yard sign.

2 students, Sydney B. In 1st grade and Chris D. In 3rd grade, were super readers earning 200 and 300 points!! They will both have something extra special next week to celebrate.
Your generous donations to Bay Colony PTO throughout the year help to make Accelerated Reader a huge success. Your continued support of PTO funds amazing programs like AR to help our gator students stay engaged and excited about reading.
We thank you for your support of this program and an amazing year!
We also send a HUGE thank you to Ms. Heilker who spearheads AR and makes it an amazing thing for students!
