This winter holiday, elementary and middle school students who “chill out and read” will have the opportunity to win a Kindle when they return to school in January.

All they need to do is to log onto the myON app, from my.springisd.org, and start reading. Remember to use your student username and password to access myOn, which features more than 6,000 books geared to a student’s reading level and interests. The contest runs from Dec. 19 – Jan. 4.

Upon return in January, staff will review the data on how much time was spent reading and the number of books read. The students who have the highest numbers in either category will win a Kindle.

“We really want to see our students engaged with different books this winter break so they can enjoy discovering new places, characters and ideas,” said Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Matthew Pariseau. “Spending time with a good book is a great way to relax, pass the time and learn something new. We can’t wait to see what our students discover.”
