BenSloan_ReadingBen Sloan, a sixth grader at Brownwood Intermediate School, set a school record for number of Reading Counts points earned.  He earned 1040 points in the first semester of school.

This goal has never been achieved at Brownwood Intermediate, much less in the first half of the school year.  Ben set a goal of 1000 points, which he met and exceeded.

Pictured is Ben with the book, Deeper by Roderick Gordon, which is one of Ben’s favorite books, as well as the one that put him over the 1000 mark.
