Students at Peiffer Elementary School have logged thousands of hours in reading time while participating in Race to Read, a program sponsored by Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.
“The kids are so excited about it,” said Peiffer first-grade teacher Tanya Rodgers. “They can read anything they want.”
The six-week program that Tami Bandimere-Shrader, granddaughter of the speedway founder, began 20 years ago has been around the track many times while expanding among area schools.
