1,206 Minutes of Reading


Here's a photo of Sophie from our hometown newspaper, the Superior Observer, along with some of the other Read-a-Thon champions at Superior Elementary School. The PTA challenged the kids to read as much as they could over 11 days. Each grade level had its own champion. The winners are fourth-grader Angela Fei with 2,545 minutes, second-grader Byron Staynings with 1,930 minutes, first-grader Ethan Huffman with 2,200 minutes, and kindergartner Sophie Kelly with 1,206 minutes. Not pictured are Rohan Mylavarapu with 2,540 minutes and fifth grader Matthew Tubbs with 3,750 minutes. The grand champion, also not pictured, was Logan McCoy who woke up between 4 and 6 a.m. to begin reading and read an average of 11 hours a day. 7,250 minutes. He's glad he won the iPod grand prize, but he's giving it to his little brother. Way to go, Sophie!
