Get the Scoop

The students at Irving School were challenged to collectively read 3,000 hours in one month.  They were given pieces of paper with ice cream scoops on them and told that for every half hour they read, they should turn in an ice cream scoop.  Each week the scoops were collected and posted on a wall near the school office, creating a giant ice cream sundae.

Drew was determined to do more than his fair share to enure the ice cream party happened.  He read wherever and whenever he could.  He contributed 48 scoops to the project.  He was on his own little quest, reading all of Eragon and part of Eldest.

The students found out today that they had exceeded their goal, and this afternoon they enjoyed ice cream sundaes with every topping you can possibly think of.  Sweet!
