By Special to the Town Crier

With a challenge to see how many books they could read during the month of May, the kindergarten classes of Kerri Riches and Cherie Scoffield at Pinewood School in Los Altos were recognized as Star Readers for reading over 2,500 books.

The children were encouraged to go to the library and were asked to fill out a slip for every book they read.

They were very enthusiastic about the challenge and surprised everyone, including themselves, with the number of books they had read.

A celebration was held, with colorful stars hanging from the trees representing “Star Readers.” Every child received a Popsicle and a photo to remember the event.
