2025 Masked Reader
2025 Masked Reader
It's time to guess this year's Masked Reader Contestants!
How does it work?
We have selected four Sheridan Hills teachers and staff to read four great books while in disguise. Classrooms watch the videos together on Guess the Masked Reader Days, and try to guess the real identity of each contestant. Classrooms have to work together to make their decision because they may only submit one guess for each book.
Teachers may submit their classroom's guess by 4PM on each contest day via email to the PTO. All correct guesses will be entered into a drawing to win the book. Drawing will be held the following day during morning announcements.
Good luck to all our Reading Olympics Teams!
