The Reading Challenge will take place Thursday, October 1, 2026 through Thursday, March 25, 2027. March was selected as the ending month of the challenge, because it serves as National Reading Month. The Reading Challenge entails students in grades Pre K through 12 selecting and reading their favorite on grade level or above grade level book in order to summarize the book by creating a poster presentation. The book poster presentations will be shared and displayed at the district's First Annual Reading Fair on Thursday, March 25th in the BHS library or BHS main gym.
