A Reading Record - 6 Days Straight

November 21st, 2006 by Dave M. · No Comments

Just picked this up from CNN:

A team of high school seniors set a six-day reading record on Monday as a way to bolster students’ interest in books and boost their school’s spirit.

In mostly one-hour shifts, they read more than 20 beloved children’s books, including the six-volume Harry Potter series, seven “Goosebumps” thrillers and Katherine Paterson’s “Bridge to Terabithia.” They wrapped up their epic, 128-hour performance on the school auditorium stage with “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” a Dr. Seuss classic.

I just want to give a big shout out to that sort of dedication. Awesome work guys!
