Lift Off to Literacy began as a reading pilot for our students in 2023 as an initiative to generate confidence in and excitement for reading, to boost comprehension, and to celebrate the successes and milestones achieved throughout the reading drive.

Students will begin tracking their reading on March 11th and the drive will end April 19th. Each class will have a team rocket and you will be provided with weekly updates as to how your student’s team is performing. We encourage students to read at least fifteen minutes a day. This reading can be done during the school day, during before and after school time, or at home. Please assist your student in notifying your teachers (during drop off and pick up times) how much they read. Students will then add their time to their individual log as well as the class chart. At the end of the six weeks, you and your student will be invited to a closing ceremony to celebrate their success.
