Principal Danielle Miles accepted the “BOOK IT” reading challenge

During National Young Readers Week, Blue Ridge Elementary Principal Danielle Miles accepted the “BOOK IT” reading challenge, taking to the roof of the school to read “Apples to Oregon” by Deborah Hopkinson.  Principal Miles accepted the challenge as a way to encourage students to become readers, and according to BOOK IT, “Research shows that the single factor in raising a reader is reading aloud.” Principal Miles later came inside the building dressed as TV’s famous mystery solving dog, Scooby Doo, and continued to read to students.
