Reading Olympics

Each year 20 to 30 students from MMR school participate in the Montgomery County Reading Olympics' competition. Students in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade are encouraged to join regardless of reading ability. Teams consist two levels: elementary and middle school. The elementary level is run by a teacher moderator. The middle school level is run by the students, giving them the opportunity to assume leadership roles.

Teams consists of ten to twelve students who strive to read all 45 required books as a team. In the spring , we travel to a local high school to compete against other schools, Teams accumulate points and are awarded ribbons and certificates based on their points at the end of the evening.
