Reflections Art Contest
Ready, Set, Read!
We all know how important reading is, and we are teaming up to promote early literacy in Plano ISD! All PreK-2 students are invited to join our first annual district-wide reading challenge! Families are encouraged to track the minutes their child reads at home by submitting the Google Form at www.bit.ly/pisdreads each week. Campuses will compete for prizes provided by the Plano ISD Education Foundation. The contest runs September 29th through October 31st, and the winning campuses will be announced the week of November 3rd. Now - ready, set, read!
