Pages For Progress

The Willow Hill faculty and staff are actively involved in promoting more reading at home by our students. In an effort to increase the amount of time Willow Hill students spend reading, the staff has instituted a nightly minimum time for silent reading as part of each students homework requirements. The Willow Hill teachers also feel that it is important for our students to set goals and be rewarded for achieving those goals. As a result, Willow Hill is sponsoring a reading incentive for the whole school.

Our school wide goal is to read over 1,000,000 pages between September and May.

Encourage your student to read as much as possible and log their pages daily in their homework book, reading log, or calendar. At the end of each month, individual and class totals will be tallied. There will be monthly class and individual rewards. If we achieve our goal of 1,000,000 pages read, the entire student body will be rewarded with a special day in June. If we all work together, we can achieve this goal!!
