Principal Michelle Ellis said all classrooms in kindergarten through fourth grade were encouraged to log the minutes they read every night to meet, or exceed, their classroom goals as part of the Racing into Reading program.
The classrooms that reached or surpassed their goals were then entered into a random drawing to win an opportunity to take part in the RC Racing event.
