Stewart Students Attend Read to Achieve Championship

Several Stewart Elementary students recently attended the Read to Achieve Championship, held Tuesday, March 7, at FedEx Forum. The Memphis Grizzlies Read to Achieve program is in its 16th year and is an excellent way to encourage students to read and develop a love for reading.

Fifth grade student Demarcus Harris, right, participated in the challenge and had the opportunity to  go on the court at the arena with Grizzlies players. The  Grizzlies, along with sponsors International Paper and  KPMG provide this program for students in the Greater  Memphis area and beyond and students must read six  books, at or above reading level, in six weeks.
