5. Reading increases a child's vocabulary skills
6. Reading increases a child's imagination
7. Reading increases empathy when they feel what a character in the story is feeling
8. Reading is a cheap and easy form of entertainment to take with you
9. Reading materials are available in a variety of forms and in a variety of places.
10. Reading is relaxing and can calm a stressful mind

Congratulations to our state trap team. They did an excellent job at the state meet today! Kyler and Vadin both shot a straight 25/25. Ashton and Nolan both had rounds of 24/25 and Corbett shot above his average for the season. They placed in the top 15 out of over 50 teams at the state meet. We are so proud of them. Huge thank you to the coaches and parents who make this happen for the kids.
