GCS Summer Reading Challenge
To help our students continue to grow their literacy skills, GCS encourages students to read at home each day. Students can read any materials that interest them, including our free district eBooks available through each school's Destiny Discover library catalog, as long as they’re reading!
2026 Summer Reading Challenge
The details: All students (PreK-12) who read and record 600 minutes of reading between June 11 and August 23 will be eligible for a ticket to Kersey Valley to use for the Corn Maze or the Family Christmas.
Reading minutes must be logged in Beanstack to be eligible for a prize. Students who cannot record their minutes over summer break can enter them in Beanstack when they return to school. See the linked flyer below for instructions on logging into Beanstack from a device at home, and/or for a reading tracking sheet for students who are not able to access Beanstack over the summer

To count toward the challenge, minutes will need to be dated during Summer Break when they are logged. See your school library media coordinator Ms. Noland for assistance logging minutes correctly!
