Greenwood Elementary School today (Friday, May 23) will celebrate 30 students who have read at least one million words as part of this year’s district-wide Million Words Campaign.

The event will begin at 2 p.m. at the school and will include the school’s namesake, Marie L. Greenwood. Each million-word reader will receive a medallion with a ribbon to wear and the readers and their parents will have a chance to create their own ice cream sundaes.

The Million Words Campaign is part of the district’s ongoing literacy program designed to increase reading fluency and improved vocabulary.

For more information, please contact Shirley Broaden or Marion Patterson-Smith at 303-371-0247. Marie L. Greenwood Elementary School is located at 5130 Dunham Court in Montbello.
