Dassel Elementary students aimed to achieve 50,000,000 million words read by the end of February, which is I Love to Read Month . After reading 2,129 books in the month, containing over 14,000,000 words, they exceeded their goal and have read over 54,000,000 million words from the beginning of the school year.

As a reward, Mr. Weinandt got to STICK AROUND during lunch and HANG OUT in the lunch room when he was duct taped to the wall.
