READ-A-THON kicked off yesterday at Ben's school.
This is the third year Ben has participated.
His first try...he came in second place.
This year....he says he wants to get to 2,000 minutes.
I think that's pretty much impossible....but he is determined.
"No tv or playing outside", he says.
Just reading!
Once again I turn to you...my readers to pledge your support (gimme money) and sponsor Ben's reading time. Seeing as he racks up the minutes like crazy I would advise you to pledge a flat rate ($1, $5, etc) instead of a per minute thing. Or you just might have to take out a loan to pay up at the end. And you know who I'm talking to. Grandparents, out of town family, church family and friends.
At the kickoff assembly yesterday, Ben was called up and recognized as king of reading for his accomplishment last year. All the kids cheered...and when asked if they thought they could "dethrone" him they all screamed...YESSSS!!!!!!
We shall see....we shall see.
