Randall pupils read nearly 200,000 minutes

Randall Elementary School had a reading contest for March is Reading Month. Pupils could only account for any minutes read outside of school.

Total minutes read for the entire school totaled 195,073 minutes with 461 students participating. Mrs. Abbott's class read the most with 19,720 minutes read between 14 children.

The top two pupils who read the most minutes in each class will receive a Texas Roadhouse lunch at the school.

Of course, the most important thing about March is Reading month is we were all reading, including the staff.

And you all know that ... 

• The more you read, the more you know.
• The more you know, the smarter you grow.
• The smarter you grow, the stronger your voice.
• When speaking your mind or making a choice.
