Waukon Middle School Accelerated Reading program receives grant funding ...

Waukon Middle School was recently awarded a Shopko Foundation grant to support the school's Accelerated Reading (AR) program, which promotes regular reading at each student’s individualized level. Each quarter of the school year students strive to meet reading goals and are rewarded with incentives for reaching those goals through the Waukon Middle School Library Program. The grant of $300 will be used to purchase incentives to continue to reward student reading success.
