From the pages to the court! 📚🏀 Our scholars brought the energy to the Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball season home opener after completing this year’s reading challenge! Through Beanstack, students tracked their reading minutes and worked toward their goals for the chance to cheer on the Yellow Jackets in person. The game was filled with excitement, school spirit and plenty of screaming scholars! ❤️ A fantastic way to bring our community together while celebrating the importance of reading and building a lifelong love of literacy. #APSExcellence #AtlantaPublicSchools
