Each year, students are challenged to read 10 of the year’s Tayshas award books. This image is a flyer for the Tayshas challnege. There are 11 book covers scattered around. The books featured are on the Tayshas list for this year.

If they meet the challenge, we go to lunch in April off campus  to celebrate and talk about all the great books we read!

After you read a book, see Ms. Curry so she can document it and give you a star on your punch card.

The list is expansive and covers a wide range of genres. There is something for everyone on the Tayshas list.

The deadline for this challenge is April 4.
