Read to Succeed

The Vancouver Giants Read to Succeed Program was launched on Tuesday, November 23rd for all students. Giants players Connor Redmond and Dalton Reum, along with Coach Chad Scharff, came to Lord to speak to students and staff.

These young men explained the Read to Succeed Program and provided each student with a special Passport. Students are encouraged to meet the challenge over the next 2 weeks! Each student has been challenged to complete 15 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of physical activity every day (outside of school time).

Students are to keep a log, recording the details in the passport, and have a parent initial the passport each day. On December 8th reps from the Vancouver Giants will return to school to see how our students managed with the challenge, and provide complimentary hockey tickets to successful participants.

Please help your child with the terrific program - perhaps it will be a chance to establish some new, healthy habits for the whole family!
