Another year -- another successful run of the Isaac Perez Race to Read. The reading incentive program at Ruth Fyfe Elementary honors the school's janitor who was killed while on duty at the school in 2002.
Congratulations to all the students, teachers, and staff members at Ruth Fyfe Elementary School in the Northwest for making this year’s Isaac Perez Race to Read a success. BookPALS would especially like to thank Fyfe Librarian Tammy Brooks, who took over as school coordinator for the project in the early planning stages. BookPALS would also like to recognize Mr. Lord and his fourth grade class who read for over 40,000 minutes during the competition. This year, we were able to give out awards to the top four students in each grade level who read for the greatest number of minutes. The $500.00 in prizes were made possible through a grant from the Clark County Education Association Community Foundation and Findlay Volkswagen. Thanks again to Isaac’s family who helped pass out the awards to the students.
