VIDEO: Lines School Performs 'Dynamite' Song and Dance

Lines Elementary School  celebrated a year of literacy accomplishments on June 6 with a school-wide performance of “Lines Reading is Dynamite!” The song and dance was to the tune of Taio Cruz' song "Dynamite."

All 550 students and staff members of the school participated in the flash mob-like performance on the school’s playground.

The celebration was all about the great success of the Lines Literacy Challenge that took place throughout the year. The challenge started when a generous Lines family said they would donate $15,000 to the book room if the school and community would meet the challenge.

Part one of the challenge was called . The students, staff and community read more than 5,000 books, earning $1 per book from the anonymous donors. Each book read earned one paper link, which was draped around the school as a sign of progress.

Part two of the challenge was called Literacy Legacy. Lines families had the opportunity to take part in this endeavour by making a donation, and leaving a note on the Wall of Appreciation.  Lines famlies donated more than $10,000 to the cause, which was matched by the anonymous donor family.

In total, the school raised $25,000 to complete the Literacy Book Room.
