Cozy up with a good book reading challenge
‘Tis the season for coziness. Grab a blanket, your fluffy socks and your favorite warm drink or snack. Hop into a reading nook and sink into a good book. Log your reading to earn badges all month long. Beanstack is a digital reading log system on LaunchPad that rewards students with virtual badges for logging the minutes they read daily. Beanstack challenges are open to all OCPS students.
