May 1st, the last day for AR testing, broke the record for checkouts from the previous day. A total of 685 checkouts in just this one day. Unbelievable! The picture pretty much tells the whole story. All day long there were long lines and returned books kept stacking up. I wonder why students wait until the last two days to test? The AR was setup for use since day one, but many students don't test and when the end of school draws near they are in a desperate rush to earn points. Maybe when they see the nice prizes being awarded at the end-of-year assembly they will remember next year to start testing early. The top AR readers for the year were announced today and the students were told they could continue testing until the end of the month, but the points will be carried over to next year.
