NEWS RELEASE
Third grade students at Crab Orchard Elementary are participating in the READBowl! READBowl is a free global reading competition where PK-8 aged teams around the globe compete to read for the most minutes.
The competition began Jan. 2, the day of the College Football National Championship game, and will end Super Bowl Sunday.
