Yesterday was a great day for Second Grade Readers! The Castleberry ISD Reading Bee was held at Castleberry Elementary. The top two readers from each elementary school met to see who would be the representative from CISD to attend the TCU Reading Bee on November 22nd. Students from all over the area will represent their districts and great reading takes place! Readers from each district get backpacks loaded with lots of "goodies." The top six readers win very nice prizes which have been donated to Score-A-Goal, the facilitator of the Reading Bee!
Judges for the Bee were Genero Martinez, Kelly James, and Holly Richardson! The judges heard some excellent readers who were able to read and comprehend passages which ranged from Grade 5.4 to Grade 10.8! After students read passages about the Revolutionary War, Photosynthesis, and other topics, a winner was declared! A brief ceremony was held to announce the winners and honor all the participants
A word of thanks to all who supported and helped this event to take place. Thanks to my co-coaches, Molly Higgins, Linda Aguillon, Kelly James and Shannon Adams, Asst. Principal at JJE, for their help with the Reading Bees at each elementary campus. Thanks to Principal Hollie Lancarte for the use of the library for the celebration. CISD Administration and the campus principals are always great supporters of this event, and their support is really appreciated. Last, but not least, a huge thank you to Holly Richardson for agreeing to be CISD's judge at the TCU Reading Bee. She will give up her Saturday to listen to all the great readers who will represent area districts. Thank you, Holly!
