Teachers sport bright pink hair to get kids reading

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Lynn Monty

Charlotte Central School librarian, Heidi Huestis, and para-educator Alexis Krech challenged students to read 1,200 books this year in honor of The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award contest. It's Vermont's children's choice award for grades 4-8, founded in 1957. Huestis and Krech told students if they read 1,200 Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award books they would dye their hair pink.
