2025 Winter Break Reading Challenge
GCS wants PreK-8th Grade students to keep reading over Winter Break!
Read at least 300 minutes over winter break to receive a free ticket to selected UNCG Men's and Women's Basketball Games.
The details: Minutes must be read between December 20 and January 4. Minutes must be recorded in Beanstack by Friday, January 9.
Reading minutes must be logged in Beanstack to be eligible for a prize. Students who cannot record their minutes over Winter Break can enter them in Beanstack when they return to school. To count toward the challenge, minutes will need to be dated during Winter Break when they are logged. Check with Ms. Hardy for assistance logging minutes correctly! Click HERE to view the GCS flyer.
