A challenge has been launched for third-grade students to accumulate a large number of reading minutes. The goal is to reach 30 million minutes by spring. This initiative is part of a countdown to a major sporting event.

The challenge involves students competing against each other to log the most reading minutes. A statewide goal has been set, and the top-performing schools will be recognized.

Further details about the challenge and its participants are available, including a video report that provides more information about the initiative and its objectives.
