 The Caledonia Area Elementary School gymnasium was a flurry of excitement last Tuesday when the grand finale lyceum for the “I Spy Reading Program” was held. Students in the various classrooms competed against each other to see who could spend the most time reading books. For every 960 minutes (16 hours) a classroom spent reading, a magnifying glass was taped in the hallway by the media center. Mrs. Pettit’s fifth grade class earned the most magnifying glasses with 42, which meant they spent 672 hours reading. Mr. Koepke’s class came in second with 448 hours. If the entire student body earned 100 magnifying glasses, Elementary Principal Connie Hesse had to dress up as a detective and participated in several “activities.” If the student body earned 250 magnifying glasses (4,000 hours of reading) Superintendent Mike Moriarty would impersonate Sherlock Holmes and participate as well.
