Each year, Burlington students receive points for reading through the Accelerated Reading (AR) program. Fifty-seven students read at least 100 points.

Those reaching 200 points were Carleigh Hill (1st), Cash Dotson (2nd), Jackson Feely (7th), Johnny Peters (7th), Kayli Stewart (7th), Lauren Lagos (9th), and Sadie Crusinbery (10th).

Emma Schupbach (3rd), Elwina Loewen (5th) and Kevin Kaumans (6th) each received at least 300 points.

Two 8th graders – Alyssa, Russell and Rory Olson – made it to 400 points.

The only student reaching 600 points was 7th grader McKenzie Olson.

The students are able to spend their points throughout the year on activities such as swimming and bowling. Those who had at least 100 points remaining had the opportunity to put a pie in the principal's face. Seven students received this privilege on Wednesday, May 10.

Junior high and high school students are required to earn 50 points from a selected list if they want to participate in an end-of-the-year activity. Five students achieved this goal and traveled to Wichita with Mrs. Feely on Tuesday, May 9. They all received an all-expense paid trip to Barnes & Noble bookstore, Cheddar's for lunch and All Star Sports.

The AR program sells chances to receive win a quilt each year to be given away at the spring program. The quilt was made by Family & Consumer Science teacher Judy Elliott, and tied by Keyra Clark and Liberty Bird. The winner of this year's beautiful quilt was Helena Peters.
