Ganns Middle Valley Elementary had 100 percent of its students read over a million words this year in after school activities.
Read 20 is a program that encourages students to read 20 minutes a day after school.
Last year the school had 89 percent participation and the year before 67 percent.
The school was awarded a check for $10,000 on Monday morning from Read 20 for this accomplishment.
