Kenton Students Celebrate Superintendent's Reading Challenge
Classrooms from elementary school to high school have embraced Superintendent Barry's reading challenge. Students from Kenton Elementary celebrated their reading success with Barry at a pizza party.
Along with Angela Hutton-Howard of the Aurora Education Foundation and Kenton staff members, Barry handed out slices of Papa John's pizza, led the students in cheers, and congratulated them on their successes.
"I'm proud of your accomplishments in reading 25 books or more. Along with many other classrooms in APS, you've made a commitment with your teachers to improve your learning."
- John L. Barry
Superintendent
Students in the first 100 elementary classes, the first 25 middle school classes and the first 25 high school classes to read 25 books will receive similar celebrations like the pizza party that Kenton students enjoyed.
