Unbound 
Readathon 
We participated in the Unbound 
Reading Challenge throughout 
the whole month of February. 
We averaged 1404 minutes read 
each week. We also participated 
in the Unbound Readathon, 
which occurred on February 28. 
As part of the Readathon, the 
youth took advantage of the 
opportunity to read all day during 
their classes. We have several 
voracious readers here right now 
and lots of them jumped at the 
chance to get in more reading 
time.   
 
 
Note from the Teachers 
● We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  one  of  our  students  passed  all  four sections of the GED!  He put a lot of 
time into studying and we are so proud of him.   
● We  have  several  students  who  are  studying  for  the  upcoming  ACT  in  April.  The  ACT  test  is  required  for 
11th grade students and a good score on it is usually required for college admission. 
● Finally,  this  is  always  a  tough  time  of  year  for  many  students  because  of  the  cold  weather  and  lack  of 
sunlight.  However,  we  are  still keeping busy and are looking forward to completing more credits as spring 
approaches.  Some  students  are  excitingly  close  to  earning  their  diplomas.  We  are  pleased  to  announce 
that 3 students are preparing to graduate in our next Commencement ceremony on April 12.

New Books from Scholastic 

 
 
It’s  always  fun  to  get  a  package  in  the  mail.  It’s 
especially  fun  when  there  are  new  books  in  those 
packages!  To  kick  off  our  participation  in  the 
February  Readathon,  Scholastic  sent  us  dozens  of 
brand  new  paperback  books.  We  opened  the  boxes 
of  books  together,  took  lots  of  photos,  and  had  a 
blast.
