Thank you to our army of volunteers and sponsors!
We could not host The Reading Games without the help and support of so many in our community! Thank you for volunteering your time and talents!
Question Coordinators
Our sincere appreciation to the Question Coordinators on the PTA Council Reading Games Committee: Kim Venzon, Jill Schwartzers, and Jessie Warmbir. The committee kept the Question Writers on deadline and then turned their contributions into the scripts for the Moderators.
They are hard at work now creating the reading lists for next year’s games! Watch for the release of the lists on the last day of school.
