Parade recognizes Accelerated Readers
Students of Joe M. Gillmore Elementary School and Jackson Intermediate School participating in the Accelerated Reader program celebrated their accomplishments with a parade through downtown Jackson, Friday, May 11. Gillmore students (bottom, right photo), grades K-2, passed 28,268 Accelerated Reader quizzes and in those books read 19,488,970 words this school year. JIS students (bottom, left photo) read a total of 125,628,493 words, earned 26,660.4 points and passed 36,209 tests. Each student in the schools are given an individual reading goal for each nine-week grading period. Those who meet their goals at the end of each nine weeks are rewarded. The students marching in the parade were the students who met their goal for all four of the nine weeks. (Photos by Evan Carden)
