Chinook Masons Present Awards for Reading

 

March 11, 2020

Members of Chinook's Masonic Lodge were on hand Monday to present readers from Meadowlark Elementary School with Kindles for their reading success. The presentation was the culmination of I Love to Read month, which also featured a Star Wars theme with students hoping to defeat Darth Vader using their reading prowess as weapons. Front Row: Hailee Niederegger (Kindergarten), Piper Skoyen (2nd grade), Eyan Hofeldt (5th grade), Alexis Elias (1st grade), Amina Shellman (4th grade), Amanda Finley (3rd grade). Back Row: Larry Surber, Frank Billmayer, Bob Sharples, Kevin Spudic, and Ben Hall, all representing Chinook Masonic Lodge #50. Also pictured, the defeated Darth Vader and Meadowlark Librarian Kelsey Harry. Not pictured was Ashley Hofeldt (6th grade).

In an Awards Ceremony on Monday, March 2, several students at Meadowlark Elementary School were recognized for their achievements earned during the month of February, which had been designated as I Love to Read Month. Seven students were also awarded with Kindles for their reading achievement.

School librarian Mrs. Kelsey Harry announced that Meadowlark Elementary students took and passed a total of 901 Accelerated Reader (AR) tests. The class with the most tests taken was Mrs. Edwards' first graders, with a total of 293 tests passed. For that accomplishment, they earned a special party.

In contributing to the success of the first grade, super reader Alexis Elias took and passed over 50 AR tests.

As part of the February literacy event, every time a student earned an 80% or higher on an AR test, they could enter their name into the Kindle drawing. Therefore, their reading accomplishments increased their odds for winning an electronic reader. The Kindle Fire is a media tablet that houses all of the owner's media-from books and games to music and movies.


The Kindle winners per grade are as follows:

• Kindergarten - Hailee Niederegger

• 1st - Alexis Elias

• 2nd - Piper Skoyen

• 3rd - Amanda Finley

• 4th - Amina Shellman

• 5th - Eyan Hofeldt

• 6th - Ashlyn Hofeldt

These prizes were generously donated by the Masons of Chinook's Masonic Lodge #50, which sponsors reading achievement with its Kindles for Books Program.
