The advisory that logged the most minutes of reading over winter break received a pizza party. This year, the two winning advisories were Ms. Dale\u2019s sixth grade advisory who read 8,936 minutes total, and Mr. Peterson\u2019s fifth grade advisory who read 8,803 minutes total.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The top three students who logged the most minutes were given gift cards.
