School Challenge 100,000 Minute Reading Challenge Mr. Kuennen is challenging the students to read a total of 100,000 minutes in eight days (being read to also counts). If they succeed, ten students will be randomly selected from the daily forms turned in, to throw a pie in his face. Please remind your student(s) to turn in their Reading Challenge Slips each morning to the bin outside of the Library. Grade Level Contest In addition to tallying the entire reading minutes for the school, the slips will also help us tally minutes by grade. The winning grade will receive supplies for a Popcorn and Movie Party. Individual Challenge And finally, we will also have a contest by grade for the most minutes read over the eight days. These minutes will be tallied on the bookmark that is attached. Winners will receive a $20 Book Fair gift certificate as well as a poster. Shop for Smiles By shopping at the Book Fair, we are going to put smiles on the faces of the students from Tse’bii’nidzisgai (“Monument Valley” in Navajo) Elementary School in Southeast Utah. This school and teacher housing, formerly Mexican Hat Elementary, were recently relocated and rebuilt with funds from a federal grant. The students and faculty are very anxious to fill their new school with books. We will be assisting with this by donating our profits from our Book Fair (Scholastic Dollars) to this school. We receive 70% of all sales back in book fair credit. We will be donating these Scholastic Dollars to help stock the shelves of their library!
