The annual "Accelerated Reader" (AR) challenge is set to begin on Jan. 30, 2012. Any elementary LCMS school in the United States and Canada that is presently using the Accelerated Reader program may enter the contest. All students must be independent readers.

The purpose of this challenge is to provide an incentive and motivation for children at Lutheran schools to read more, get smarter and have fun. Reading for this contest can occur anywhere the children are – at home, at school, in the car, etc. All reporting of points will be done by each school’s coordinator via the AR challenge website.

Register before Jan .30 to take part in the AR challenge by visiting the St. Paul, Janesville, website – stpaulsjanesville.com.
