OCPS kicks off district-wide reading challenge

Orange County Public Schools is encouraging students to read for enjoyment and to develop a lifelong love of reading through its district-wide reading challenge.

Let's Read, OCPS! will run from Monday, Jan. 26, to Thursday, April 30.

The district-wide goal is to read 50 million minutes, with a challenge for each person to read at least 500 minutes throughout the challenge.  

All OCPS students, employees, families and community members are encouraged to participate. 

Participants can log their minutes in Beanstack, a LaunchPad application motivating and rewarding students for reading.
