2023 Winter Reading Challenge

GCS wants students to keep reading over Winter Break!

PreK-12th grade students can record the minutes they read over the break in Beanstack  for an opportunity to earn prizes.

Students must read at least 300 minutes between December 21 and January 1 to earn the opportunity to win a prize! That's only 30 minutes a day for 10 days!

Reading minutes must be logged in Beanstack by January 12 to be eligible for a prize. Students who cannot record their minutes over winter break can enter them in Beanstack when they return to school.

Prize details:

Prek-8th grade students who record 300 minutes of reading in Beanstack will earn two free UNCG basketball tickets. Up to four family members can purchase additional tickets for $10. The tickets will be for the game versus Wofford on January 20 and the game versus Chattanooga on February 10.

9th-12th grade students who record 300 minutes of reading in Beanstack will be entered into a drawing for a Barnes and Noble gift card.
