All scholars are encouraged to read as much as they can on myON during Spring break. Time spent reading will be recorded automatically within each student’s myON account. Winners will be selected from each grade level band based upon the total number of minutes they read on myON during the challenge period. Top 5 winners in each grade band will win a laptop. An additional 15 winners per grade band will win a fidget cube with earth magnets. Winners will be announced the week of March 20th. This is county-wide initiative, so all Pinellas County School scholars will be participating.
