First-place teams in each problem and age division will earn a spot at DI Globals in May, held in Kansas City, Mo. Congratulations!

Storytime With Pastors
The Little Rock School District is big on literacy! We are always looking for ways to get our students to develop a passion for reading. Storytime with Pastors is one of our many efforts designed to instill that passion in our youngest students. This week, students at Forest Heights STEM Academy were paid a visit by faith-based community members who volunteered to read to students as part of the Volunteers in Public Schools program.
Getting Hooked on Literacy with a Little Friendly Competition -
Thanks to THV's Craig O'Neill
What a blast! McDermott Elementary students enjoyed hearing from THV's Craig O'Neill this week as part of his commitment to promoting reading among students and his partnership with local schools. Craig introduced the book bracket contest, much like "March Madness," where he teams up with another reader, and students select which book they like best. The winning book advances to the next round - until an ultimate winner is declared. Thanks, Craig, for your devotion to and passion for reading and kids! BTW, the championship round takes place at Stephens Elementary. Can't wait to see which book survives!
