Bair Hopkins, 9, a fourth-grader in Lacey Amschler's class at Perryville Elementary School, broke the school record by earning 905.2 AR points.
Bair is the son of Heather Partlow of Perryville, and Jeremy Hopkins of Weatherford, Tx. He is the grandson of the late Wilma Partlow, and Theresa Hale and Bubba Hopkins.
"This picture shows Bair's green hat that is full of his reading achievement patches," said PES Librarian Mrs. Michelle House. "He earned so many patches, that he also has a green shirt with 'PES' spelled out with the patches. Bair just loves to read and when asked what was his favorite book to read he stated Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series."
