Friday at the Simpson County branch of CoLin, the District wide Reading Fair was held. There were 44 students from Magee, Mendenhall, and Simpson Central schools, ranging in age from Kindergarten to 12th grade. The 16 judges ranged from retired teachers to people from the community. These students qualified for the district reading fair from winning first place at their school in their division. The first place winners from each division will go on to the Regional Reading Fair held at the University of Southern Miss on March 5th. A date for the State Reading Fair has not been announced There were multiple great projects and everyone was a winner! Congrats to all and good luck!
