Creek's Million Minute Challenge Makes the News!

Last Tuesday morning (December 11), Creek's Million Minute Literacy Challenge was featured on Fox 25's Morning News Program!  I want to thank Fox 25 for the coverage which included six live segments.  The reporter, Terre' Gables, really made it exciting for the kids.  Mrs. Suffield and I even gave a "preview" of our proposed sumo wrestling match on live TV!  (Kids:  Keep reading, and Mrs. Suffield and I will face off for real in May.  Who would win?)  Freckles also made the news!  But my favorite part was the interview of some great kids who have demonstrated a commitment to reading.  I am proud of all the kids and the whole staff....The way they are going at it, the kids may get to THREE MILLION MINUTES of reading, in which case Mrs. Suffield and I will have to sumo wrestle and drink an everything McDonald's shake (gross!). 

Here are some links to Fox 25's website with some videos.  (The videos should load in the window.):
