For Stapleton Elementary School, what began as pressure to fulfill the district’s School Improvement Plan of 2009 to 2012 developed into a rush of enthusiasm throughout the school.  The Reading Challenge was enacted February 10 and will finish up on April 15.  All students have been challenged to read a set number of books at home as a school-wide competition, with the prize being only pride and joy for themselves and the benefits of enjoying a good book.
