Dear Parents,
Your child along with many other students from Bucks County will soon be participating in the Reading Olympics Competition. Teams will remain after school on the day of the competition to prepare. Dinner and transportation will be provided. In order to attend the competition, students must provide a completed classroom extension form. Instructions for you and your child are on the back of this letter. Please return this form by Thursday, March 19, 2020.
You and other interested family members are welcome to join us at the competition. We expect this event to be an enjoyable, rewarding experience for everyone who attends. This year’s event will be held at Snyder Middle School, 3330 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA 19020 on Wednesday, April 1, 2020. To ensure a successful evening, we ask for your cooperation with the guidelines that are listed below.
- This is a heavily attended event. Try to carpool so that traffic jams can be prevented. Also, be sure to allow ample travel time, so that traffic and parking do not become a problem.
- Please park within clearly identified spaces in the school’s lot. Do not drive or park on the grass.
- The competition begins promptly at 6 p.m. Allow time for parking and finding the assigned classroom.
- Students should report immediately to their assigned classroom rather than lingering in the hallways. Student guides will be posted in the hallways to assist with directions.
- Keep in mind that small children will not have the attention span for this academic event and may be happier at home.
- Parents are spectators, not participants. You may not interfere with the questioning process or challenge the judges’ decisions.
We look forward to seeing you at the competition.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Alexander and Ms. West
