Congratulations to SJS Eighth Grade Graduate Lizeth Mendez for receiving the Johnathan Rhodes Accelerated Reader Award for the school year 2023-2024.
What is Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer program that we use to ensure our students are independently reading books at an appropriate level for them, enabling us to monitor if they are able to read and comprehend what they are reading. After they have read a book, they take a quiz on the computer to assess how well they have understood the text and earn points for each quiz passed.
At the end of the year the student who has accumulated the most points beyond the minimum of 500 points is recognized at graduation and presented with a certificate plus their name is engraved on a plaque which is displayed in the Middle School next to the Library.
Lizeth accumulated over 700 points!
SJS Teachers, staff and students applaud her for such an amazing accomplishment!
