  Superintendent Notter and Principal Flournoy will discuss the importance of reading every day and announce special reading incentives. Notter will read to third grade students in the school cafeteria, while other students watch on screens in their classrooms.
  411-Pain will present a check for $3,525 to fund the reading program and another check for $60,000 for the 411-Pain Cash for Teachers Contest, which awards $1,000 per month to a Broward teacher. The contest culminates with a May grand prize of $11,000. Essays of up to 400 words can be submitted at clearchannel.com or on the 411-Pain Facebook page.
