LITERACY WEEK GBES students raise the roof for Literacy Week
BY LISA NEWELL Photos by Lisa Newell | GBN Gulf Breeze News [email protected] Vice Principal Kim McChesney and Principal Literacy week culminated Warren Stevens get in a rooftop “rescue” from the “rescued” from the Gulf Gulf Breeze Fire Department Breeze Elementary School’s Friday at Gulf Breeze Elemen- roof by Gulf Breeze Fire- fighters as a culmination of tary School. Literacy Week. GBE students raised the roof on reading this week, celebrat- ing literacy week by combining to read 90,000 minutes in one week. Media Specialist Dodi Stringfellow said the school set a goal for each student to read for 30 minutes at home each night to total 75,000 minutes. However, the project ignited a love for reading in the students and they surpassed the goal by 15,000 minutes. Principal Warren Stevens promised the students that if they could meet their goal, he and vice principal Kim McChesney would go up on the school’s roof and read to classes sitting outdoors. After Stevens and McChesney ascended to the top of the school and began their reading, the lad- der was “misplaced,” trapping them on the roof. Fortunately, Gulf Breeze Fire and Rescue came to their aid, placing an extension lad- der against the building and bringing a banner that unfurled to read “GBE Readers are on FIRE!” Fifth grade teacher Mike Rodgerson made sure a lot of •RE/MAX Hall of Fame •RE/MAX Chairman’s Club teachers and children were on hand to witness the event.
