Sierra Elementary Encourages Reading With Pie in the Face

Alamogordo Public Schools Sierra Elementary took on an innovative and fun approach to encourage student reading. The innovative approach included pie in the face for a few select teachers and an administrator. 

Congratulations to Boni Hernandez who read 1632 pages in Sierra Elementary's reading contest just completed. Super job! 

The program allowed for students to use their reading as votes, and whichever teacher received the most votes got a PIE TO THE FACE at a public school assembly.

Mr. Atkinson was the top vote-getter with 424 votes, but the school also managed to find another pie for second place winner, Mr. Lawrence!

Not to miss out on the fun and as a welcome to her new school, another pie appeared for the new principal, Mrs. Brabson!

Congratulations to the students and good sport to the pie in the face recipients.
