Members of the Wessington Springs Shriners joined Wessington Springs Elementary School’s end-of-year Accelerated Reading assembly last month, where students received recognition for their reading achievements and were entered into an annual bike drawing, courtesy of the Shriners.
Five readers were drawn as the bike winners: Maxon Finn, Quinn Everson, Adam Knippling, Hayes Cashman. and Kenzie Bartel.
Special guest Quinten Christensen, Wessington Springs High School graduate and senior offensive lineman for the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, helped present awards and encouraged students to continue developing strong reading habits. Following the assembly, students had the opportunity to meet Christensen, collect autographs and celebrate their accomplishments.
