Attention MGS Families: Our Beanstack reading program is back! Beanstack is an online platform used by schools and libraries to run reading challenges and programs, allowing users to log their reading, track progress, earn digital badges and rewards, and participate in reading-related activities. It motivates readers of all ages and connects them to books and library resources to foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills. Please see the attached documents so that you can help your student log their Beanstack minutes and activities. If you have a library card at the Illinois Prairie District Library you can link your accounts. There is a flyer attached, explaining how to do that.
