“Congratulations to the Elementary Staff, to Jeannie Lindsey as our Reading Specialist, to the Elementary Curriculum Team, to Sandy Perez for supporting the efforts as Principal, and to Shannon Hudson as the Curriculum Director. Through your efforts, you have provided a model for other districts to follow in implementing the new Alaska Reads Act! More importantly, you have provided a path for our students to become competent readers. Thank you for your hard work, for sticking with the curriculum, and continuing to learn through on-going professional development.”

We are excited to announce the RJ Elementary/EarlyHead Start & Head Start Million Minute Reading Challenge! Our goal is for the entire school and Head Start to read one million minutes collectively by the end of the school year.
Please try to set aside 20 minutes each night to read with or to your child
and afterwards simply color in each day on the reading calendar. Be sure to sign your name prior to turning it in at the end of each month.
We are excited to begin this challenge and thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions please feel free to contact Jeannie Lindsey!
