Since our first year competing in 2011, Newell has placed in the Top 20 every year having read 14,304,403 reading minutes total!! Some interesting facts about this year's Reading Challenge: 2,735 schools nationwide competed from all 50 states, Washington DC and two US territories. Newell's total reading minutes of 1,544,624 equals 1,072 days!!

Each student received a $25 gift certificate, provided by the PTA to spend at the Scholastic Book Fair. In addition to the gift certificate, students were also the first to visit and shop for goodies at the Newell Scholastic Book Fair!
