Hawthorne's Read A Slice, Have A Slice Challenge

Picture
We are so excited to announce Carmel Middle School’s partnership with Hawthorne’s New York Pizza this school year. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the Hawthorne’s Read a Slice, Eat a Slice Challenge. This is a monthly reading challenge to get students excited about reading books that peak their interest. When students meet the requirements by reading their monthly page goal, showing their comprehension of the text, and designing a book review bookmark, they will earn a free Hawthorne’s large pizza at the Carmel Road or Rea Road location. Parents will get involved by discussing their child's reading selections and signing their book reviews. Student book reviews will then be displayed in the school to spark the interest of their classmates as well. To get all of the details, please check out the video here. A big thank you to Hawthorne’s Pizza for providing our students with this opportunity!
