Reading, writing and... wrestling? by Anne West WrestleMania and reading nov- els is the match-up for a reading competition and it is a winning combination for Josh Hoffer. He is this year’s finalist in the 28th annual WrestleMania Reading Challenge for 2012. Twenty finalists from across the country, including the 7th grader from Fessenden, will compete in Miami, Fla., for ringside tickets at WrestleMania XXVIII. The challenge asked students grades 7 through 12 to read a book of their choice and write a letter that is only 100 words or less to persuade their favorite WWE star to read the book selected by the student. The students were also asked to commit to reading at least five books before select- ing their book. Students are to go to the WWE website and decide which WWE personality is most From left: Library and Media Specialist Sandra Olschlager, Josh like a character from the book Hoffer, and English teacher Brenda Gorseth. they have selected.
