Mile Long Reading Contest
This year students can participate in a contest being run in the media center. It is called the Mile Long Reading Contest. We started the contest the first week of school when students were introduced to the contest rules during orientation. The way it works is that students take the Reading Counts quiz for any book that they read having a quiz. Each book has a predetermined point value based on book length and reading level. Although the majority of the books read are RC books with available quizzes, there is an alternative activity for non RC books. All points per grade level are added together with the ultimate goal being to reach 25,000 points/1 mile.
The contest stands with the following results:
1st place: 8th Grade at 8/10 of a mile (22,101 pts.)
2nd place: 6th grade at 5/10 of a mile (13,638 pts.)
3rd place: 7th Grade at 2/10 of a mile (5105 pts.)
More information about this contest can be received by contact Mrs. Riddle in the LMS Media Center.

We need your help!
We would like to have Alane Ferguson, author of the Christopher Killer Series come to our school January 31, 2012. In order for her to come, we need to raise $600.00. Please help us by supporting a
Scholastic Mini Book Fair
on December 6 - 8, 2011.
The fair will be open on December 6th till 6:00 PM and 7th & 8th from 8:00 AM to 2:45 PM.
Books make great Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanzaa presents. Not to mention a book fair gift certificate is a great way to show your student's teachers your appreciation for all they do. Please stop in or let your students shop to help us out!
