112817 Principal Tent (KS)

South Prairie Elementary School Principal Kreg Wesley had to keep his word Monday night as he prepares a tent in the school's courtyard. He promised the students of his school that if they could read 7,000 books, he would sleep outside in the courtyard for a night. On Monday, he said he was glad the students met that mark in November and not January. The reading frenzy isn't over yet. When the school reaches 10,000 books reads, Wesley said he will dye his hair purple and at 12,000, he's shaving his head. "We have kids reading like crazy," he said.
