SPANISH FORK, Utah, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The annual Fiesta Days Rodeo Reading Challenge recently concluded, and the event was a tremendous success! Students from kindergarten to fifth grade in the Spanish Fork area embraced the challenge with great enthusiasm, collectively logging an impressive 2,076,500 minutes of reading. That's equivalent to approximately 35,000 hours or an astounding four years of reading in just one month!
One school stood out from the rest, demonstrating their dedication to the challenge. Park Elementary led the way, with students averaging an impressive 25 minutes of reading per day. Their commitment and hard work are truly commendable.
The Rodeo Reading Challenge, an initiative that has been running for eight years, aims to promote literacy and uphold Spanish Fork's rich Western heritage. Over the years, the challenge has witnessed significant growth and participation. This year's remarkable achievement highlights the dedication of both students and teachers involved.
During the challenge, students diligently recorded their reading minutes, fueling their excitement and motivation. At the end of the challenge, students who met their class reading goal had their names entered into a drawing. Each school held its own drawing, selecting one winner from each grade. These winners were rewarded with two free tickets to the highly anticipated Fiesta Days Rodeo and were recognized for their exceptional reading achievements in-arena. Their accomplishments were celebrated in front of a vibrant and appreciative audience, adding to their sense of accomplishment. Additionally, two of these students from each school were selected as grand prize winners. These lucky students were awarded a fantastic prize package, including a pair of Justin cowboy boots, a Ream's Western Outfitters rodeo shirt, a pair of Wrangler jeans, a Resistol cowboy hat, and two tickets to the rodeo.
"We extend our sincere congratulations to all the students who participated in the Fiesta Days Rodeo Reading Challenge," said Tom Feller, Director of Event Marketing. "Their dedication to reading is inspiring and will undoubtedly set them on the path to success. Their accomplishments are a testament to their hard work and to the support of their teachers and families.
