This September has been by far the best one since we started using the Destiny catalog. Students borrowed an average of 66 books per school day, which is double our results from last year. I extend\u00a0hearty congratulations to all the parents, teachers, and, above all, students who have made this possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As reading just 15 minutes a day can help increase vocabulary and fact-based knowledge, improve grades, increase the likelihood of graduating and the capacity for empathy, and even reduce stress levels significantly, this result is cause for celebration. Speaking of celebration, we\u2019d like to take the time to recognize and congratulate our Rochester Readers of the Month.<\/p>\n<p>Below, you\u2019ll find the students who are reading at the most incredible rates:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers of the Month\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3rd Place<br \/> Morella Gamez from 1st C and Mariana Iba\u00f1ez from 2nd C, both with 8 books already borrowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2nd Place<br \/> Emilio Tat Cheung from Second C, Pablo Enciso from First B, Sara G\u00f3mez from First C, Lukas Ni\u00f1o and Silvana Salgado from Second C have each borrowed 9 books.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1st Place<br \/> However, our hats go off to Sahani Giles and Luciana Sarmiento, both from Third A, with 10 books already read this year.

Looking at exceptional individual readers using this app, we find that:<\/p>\n<p>Mariana Rincon from First C has been taking great advantage of RAZ Kids, logging in for 142 minutes, reading 14 books, and listening to 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emilio Salcedo leads First A, having read and listened to 35 books as well as completing 47 quizzes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Maria Jose Martinez from First B is the RAZ Champion this month, having read 59, and listened to 76, books.
