Our Principal, Claudia Grantham of Clintonville Elementary School in North Haven, Connecticut, challenged our students from Kindergarden to 5th Grade to read over 15,000 books over the summer. If the students reached that goal, she was willing to get into a dunk tank!!! Well, they did it! The students who read the most books in each grade were picked to attempt to dunk the Principal! Needless to say - she went swimming alot!
