            Last spring, Mrs. Mac challenged the students at Garretson Elementary to read for 24 hours over the summer.  Eighteen students completed the challenge by reading 20 minutes for 72 days.  Students received a ten-dollar gift card to Barnes and Noble to encourage them to keep reading.  Way to go Blue Dragons!
