The 2024–2025 R.A.C.E. to Read Pasco! district-wide reading challenge has officially come to a close — and what an incredible journey it’s been! Together, our district logged over 23 million minutes of reading!

We’re thrilled to recognize our top-performing schools:

• Moon Lake Elementary — our leading elementary school for the second year in a row!
• Centennial Middle — the top-performing school at the secondary level!

Both schools will receive a celebratory banner and a selection of books to use as reading incentives for students next year.
Special Recognition goes to:

• Sanders Elementary
• Rushe Middle

With over 90% participation, these schools will also receive books to encourage even more reading next year.

A heartfelt thank you to all of you who worked so hard to strengthen the reading culture in your schools and to nurture the habit — and joy — of reading for pleasure. Your efforts are making a lasting impact!
