The students at Santaquin Elementary were given a challenge to read during the summer.  They were given a calendar to keep record of their reading minutes.  Over 200 students returned their calendar at the beginning of the school year so that they could participate in the Reading Rodeo.

The students were able to Pan for Gold, Lasso a Fake Horse, Toss Horseshoes, participate in the Snake in My Boot Relay, and the Cattle Round-Up Obstacle Course.

After the relays they all settled around the camp with popcorn, s'mores, and water to listen to Mr. Goudy tell a story.  And tell a story he did!

But that wasn't it.  The moment they all were waiting for finally arrived.  They all watched as Mr. Argyle chased a pig, caught it, and planted a big 'ole kiss on it!  It sure was worth reading over the summer just to see that!

Thanks to everyone who helped with this event.
