West Taylor students were challenged to read books over the summer break. The Summer Reading Challenge documentation papers were sent home with student's report cards and students with their parents wrote the titles of the books read throughout the summer. Today, many of those students celebrated with fun activities during the "Reading Challenge Reward Day!" Thank you Mountaineer Bounce and Jeff Audia, for providing activities. A very special Thank You to our parent volunteers: Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Sole, Mrs. Gobel, Mrs. Leach, & Mrs. Ross for volunteering your time to make the day a success! Many staff members also participated during this celebration day!
