​Gila Crossing Families, The GCCS K-4 READING CHALLENGE starts today and ends on May 18th. Our goal is to have the K-4 students read or have 8,000 books read to or with them by an adult in the home. We are asking at least 1 adult in the home to sign the reading log each night letting us know that the child read one book. We would LOVE if you sat and read with or to the child. We hope to not only meet our goal but even more importantly get families excited about reading BOOKS. Thank you. Coming soon: what will happen if the students REACH THE GOAL!
