PCA is a Community of Readers: Read-A-Thon Results are in!
March 22, 2018PCA News Stories
“Way to go, PCA Readers!” says Quirky Genius Scientist Aboooood
The Hypothesis: PCA readers can successfully meet a pre-set reading challenge!
The Experiment: Test whether PCA Upper and Lower students, staff and parents can read at least 350,000 minutes in one month
The Method: Track reading minutes during PCA Read-a-thon, from January 27 to February 5
Conclusion: Experiment successful! 405,207 minutes read and recorded during Read-a-thon 2018!
The experiment’s success meant it was time for Dr. Abood to fulfill her part of the challenge! That’s why she spent March 20 dressed as Quirky Genius Scientist Aboooood, which was appropriate considering this year’s Read-a-thon theme of exploring famous inventors and scientists!
