Western Wayne High School and Middle School students participated in the NEIU-19’s Virtual Reading Relay this past May. The students got the chance to virtually participate. Students read books from a shared list and competed in rounds on their knowledge of the stories. The students were thrilled to share their love of reading in this virtual format and look forward to many reading competitions in the future. There were two high school teams and one middle school team this year.
