Dakota Girl

Dakota's 7th Grade class was asked to take on a challenge this year.  They were asked to read around the world.  Each page became so many miles and the challenge was set.  Dakota read around the world by Christmas time.  I thought we could be done logging the hours but the teacher said to keep going.  So she ended up going around the world 2 times.  That was over 15000 pages read. ( The funny thing is she did not log all of her pages.)  She was invited to dinner with the principal and her English teacher along with the 13 other kids that accomplished this goal.  Then they had a special awards night wear they honored student of the year and Principal choice.  It was best dressed and they gave Dakota a corsage.

 

She is such a thoughtful girl that she is helping a friend with her corsage( I am pretty sure this is the first time most of these kids wore one) 

They call her name to the front of the stage.

She is asked to tell how many pages that she has read.

Dakota Dickson you are so smart and talented.  I am so proud of your accomplishments.  Keep up the good work!
