Meadows Elementary students
helped set a world record! The children were part of a group of 2,462,860 people
who read the book “Otis” earlier this fall. Jumpstart, a national early
education organization that focuses on kindergarten readiness, initiated the Read for the Record campaign. During this event, they sought to unite
millions of readers to celebrate literacy by breaking the world record for the
most people reading the same book on the same day. Meadows’ students helped
achieve this goal by hosting Kansas Commissioner of Education Dr. Diane
DeBacker, who read the book to the student body.
“Otis”
by Loren Long, is the touching story of a tractor who provides comfort and
friendship to a young calf on a farm. Its message of friendship made it an enjoyable
story for millions of students, and Meadows Elementary was honored to have Dr.
DeBacker share it with our youngsters. We are the largest district in Shawnee County & believe that our students will change the world.
