WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – Orchard Valley Middle School sixth-graders in Mrs. Joanne Leahy’s Read 180 class recently passed the 1 million-word milestone. Passing 1 million words was the class’s goal at the start of the year, and since they reached it in less than one semester, they’re shooting for more than 2 million for the entire school year.
“They have been working toward this goal all year, and I am excited that this could be the first year we reach 2,000,000 words read by the end of the school year,” Leahy said.
To celebrate 1 million words, the class hosted a celebration on February 9th, where there was cake, Chick-Fil-A nuggets and more, and they watched a movie as another part of their reward. In addition, the students each received a certificate with the amount of words they contributed.
