More than 200 students from nine middle schools attended a rally at the Wells Fargo IMAX Theatre at Marbles on April 19 to celebrate the fact that they read a combined 23,680 books this school year. They had tracked the number of titles through Ticket to Reading Rewards, an incentive program to encourage independent reading in middle school.

This is the second year WCPSS middle schools have participated in the Ticket to Reading Rewards program, which is sponsored nationally by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Foundation and funded locally by General Parts International/CARQUEST. Duke University head men’s basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski spoke at the rally to commend students for their efforts.
