In recognition of National Young Readers Week Nov. 6-10, The BOOK IT! Program will continue its tradition of challenging principals across the country to be examples for literacy and read one entire school day – from the first bell to last – during that week.

The Principal Challenge is part of Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program’s National Young Readers Week celebration November 6-10 that is an annual event co-founded by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. One lucky principal will win Kate DiCamillo books for the entire school! Each K-6 grade student will go home with their very own new book just in time for winter break.

This year, Principal Todd Lewis will be reading “Charlotte’s Web”, all day, November 8 from his tractor in front of Coggin Intermediate, in the “barn” inside Coggin Intermediate 4 & 5 campus or in the Coggin Intermediate 6 campus library. Ann Fowler and Stacy Loftin will be actively reading throughout the day as well. All Coggin Intermediate campus faculty will be dressed in “Charlotte’s Web” themed attire. The purpose of this event is to raise awareness for the importance of literacy and generate a passion for reading among young people.
