BEMUS POINT “It’s amazing what students will do to see their principal kiss a pig.” That’s how Sonja DuBois, Bemus Point Elementary School principal, described a two-week effort to have students read for at least 60,000 minutes.
“It turns out that students will do pretty much anything, including a ton of reading,” added DuBois, who on Tuesday made good on a promise to kiss an actual pig as part of an incentive to encourage reading by students. “The students were so committed that they completed the objective of reading at least 60,000 minutes in less than two weeks.”
