What fun celebrating Miss Hayes and her 1st graders! The class partnered with PaperPie Representative Elizabeth Heggem and is participating in the Race to Read challenge through Black Hills Reads. As a reward for all the pages they logged, every student on her team went home with three books of their own, helping build home libraries and celebrate a love of reading. The books were provided through a literacy grant from Black Hills Reads, paired with the PaperPie Literacy for a Lifetime match, maximizing the impact of the grant funding.
