JROTC Cadets completed camp this past week

When Principal Scott Uribe wanted to get students at Herma Simmons Elementary School more excited about reading, he offered them a challenge! Mr. Uribe told the students that if they met their reading goals, he would let the student who read the most surprise him with a pie in the face! The students took the challenge on and won – accumulating 130,000 MINUTES of reading! In fact, one student, Alexus Paden, grade 5, tallied 1,205 minutes of reading time alone, warranting her the opportunity to surprise Mr. Uribe with this “pie in the face!”
