I had the pleasure of attending the Book Blitz Jr. championship event and am delighted to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the amazing team from Sunrise Elementary for their exceptional victory in the districtwide competition. It was inspiring to see young students embrace the joy of reading and challenge themselves to explore new books and genres.

For those who are unfamiliar with Book Blitz Jr., it’s a competition that encourages students to read books and then answer questions about which book they’re from. This program promotes literacy while also allowing students to discover new books and genres they might not have been interested in otherwise.

I would also like to extend my congratulations to the team from Canyon View Elementary for their impressive second-place finish, as well as to all the other teams who participated in the competition. The students’ knowledge and enthusiasm for the books they had read was impressive and made this competition a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Once again, congratulations to the winning team and all participants. It’s inspiring to see young minds so engaged in such an exciting and educational competition, and I encourage everyone to continue to nurture their love for reading and learning.
