ELLINWOOD — Quarterly parties for students who reach their Accelerated Reader goals proves learning to read can be fun. Students in grades two through four celebrated their latest AR goals by taking part in several “minute to win it” games organized by librarians Amy Hammeke, Jean Garner, grade school library assistant Kala Robl and library substitute Lindell Redington. “With our Accelerated Reader (AR) program, we begin by STAR testing,” Ellinwood School and Community Library Director Sheri Holmes explained in an email to the Tribune.
