St. Peter’s students read 1,100 books

Lewiston Porter Sentinel, January 7, 2006

In an effort to promote reading, Principal Mark Mambretti challenged the students of St. Peter’s School to read 1,000 books. If the students completed the challenge, Mambretti would sleep in the library. As it turned out, the students read more than 1,100 books through Dec. 1. Mike Randall of Channel 7 News presented the students his “Magic of Reading” program to honor both Mambretti and the students for reading so many books.
