Kaylei's Reading Drive: 500 Books by Christmas!
Hello! My name is Kaylei Gleason. I am a first grader at Herman Ave Elementary School.
My parents and I came up with this goal in August to earn a Nintendo DS for Christmas. Thanks Dad, Mom and Braeden for your help! I want all kids to keep reading and have fun like I do with my family!
Thanks to Mrs. Coffin and Mrs. Marginsky for your help! Thanks to Seymour Library for your wonderful present of books and a bag! I Loved them so much! -Kaylei
Kaylei 12/13/07 w/ book from
Seymour Library! Thank You!
www.seymourlibrary.org 
The Rules: The only rule was that all books have to by read by Mom, Dad or Kaylei. Kaylei also reads certain books to us! Books read in school count toward the goal as well! It's a fun Goalfor all!
On 12/19/2007, Kaylei read book #500 at Seymour Library. It was an amazing feat and I encourage all you parents to try it. If you would like a webpage to try it email us. We would like to thank Mrs. Coffin, Herman Ave school, Seymour library, Channel 3 news, The Citizen, and The Post Standard!
(Kaylei opening the Nintendo DS on Christmas Morning 07! You earned it little girl!)
