A major loud and proud shoutout to this third grader, Myles! He has reached an exciting milestone with his AR goals! He has surpassed his goal of 100 points and currently has 105 points! To put this into perspective, this means he has read 43 books and novels THIS school year, which is about 743,592 words. You impress me more than I can express, and I love how much you love to read. Keep up the awesome work. I can’t wait to see how far you go this year. -Mrs. Heimann
