Cheshire Elementary Makes Reading Easy As Pie

Print Story | Email Story

CHESHIRE, Mass. — Cheshire Elementary School held its second annual Reading Challenge - with a sweet twist.

Principal Peter Bachli challenged the students to read 1,000 books from March 15 to April 15. If the challenge was met, the top five students in grades K-2 and the top five students in grades 3-5 along with the two top staff members would be able to throw a pie in Mr. Bachli’s face.

Students were required to keep a reading log and tallies were added up and recorded on a giant pie right outside the principal’s office. The Book Blast Rally was held on Friday, April 15. All the students and staff members gathered in the back yard of the school to see if the challenge had been met and if so, who the lucky pie throwers would be.

At the Pie Book Blast Rally, Machli announced that not only had the kids reached their goal of 1,000 books, they exceeded it by reading 3,653 books, more than double last year’s amount.

Then, the lucky top readers got ready and one by one came up to throw their cream pie at Principal Bachli. All the kids and staff cheered during this fun event.
