Read for the Record

On Tuesday, October 7, students at NBS participated in Jumpstart’s “Read for the Record,” trying to break the world record for the number of people reading the same book on the same day.  We won’t know the results until early November, as participants can send in their numbers until October 15, but we’re looking forward to being part of the world record for the 4th year in a row.

Click here to see what folks around the country did to participate in “Read for the Record.”

People magazine even showed Justin Bieber reading with youngsters!  (I can’t find a link to that, but I promise I saw a picture this weekend!)
