The kids didn t know they d won the championship until last week. Prior to the announcement, the students were all given green t-shirts that read, Greenbriar Mustangs. Readers Today, Leaders Tomorrow. Their teacher told everyone to wear the t-shirt the next day for a group picture. When they walked outside, and they saw Clifford the Big Red Dog and all the adults and cameras. At first, it was a moment of shock for them. They didn t quite know how to take it and then it finally sunk in and they were just squealing and jumping and down. They just loved it. The best part is all they wanted to that afternoon was read, Van Ausdall said. That s what you want. You want your kids to leave the classroom with a love of reading and learning.
