What are the Sasquatch Awards?
What are the Sasquatch Awards?
The Sasquatch Awards are novels for grades 4-6, open nominations, committee selected, student voted. Twelve great books are nominees. But only one will win. Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders can participate in the voting process by reading at least two of the nominees. The selection criteria includes the following considerations: Reading enjoyment, reading level, interest level, Genre representation, racial diversity, gender representation, diversity of social, political, economic, or religious viewpoints, Washington State interest, effectiveness of expression, and imagination.
LUNCH TIME LIBRARY RULES: If you are going to be in the library during lunch time, you MUST be something such as playing a game (checkers, chess etc.), doing puzzles, reading, or drawing, etc. You may not just sit and "chat" with your friends. It creates a very noisy environment for the library, which is not conducive to a calm, relaxing, and quieter place where students can unwind. If your sole purpose is to "chat" with friends, you will be asked to leave and find an alternative place in the school to socialize. Thank you for making the library a great place!
