INDIANAPOLIS — One group of central Indiana third-graders has bested the competition to win the I Love to Read Challenge for 2023 in all of central Indiana. Students competed to find out who could read the most in a specific period of time.
120 classrooms in 55 different schools around central Indiana joined the contest this year, and more than 2,600 students read for a combined total of more than 1.2 million minutes — over 20,000 hours of reading!
The winner of the I Love to Read challenge for 2023, with a total of 76,586 minutes read, is Mrs. Kimberly Barnes’ class at Irvington Elementary School in Indianapolis. This is quite an accomplishment and a great effort on their part.
Mrs. Barnes’ students will receive a championship trophy, a pizza party, a classroom library refresh from Scholastic, and more.
