On Friday, Cherry Creek participated in a state wide Read-a-thon that was sanctioned by Governor Cox. “ When we invest in reading, we invest in Utah’s future. This read-a-thon is a fantastic way to bring Utah families, schools, and neighborhoods together around the joy of a good book. By instilling a love of reading in Utah’s students, we inspire lifelong learning and help unlock their incredible potential,” Lt. Gov. Henderson said. The Read-a-Thon is part of Utah Reads, a statewide effort to help children build strong reading skills and encourage Utahns of all ages to make reading a habit. Ms. Beeson’s 2nd Grade class had a great time reading their favorite books.
