Hi,

April is National School Library Month, and the Student Library Advisory Board would like to encourage you to participate in the "No Screen, Just Read" Challenge during the week of April 13-17.  

General Information

The challenge will take place during 5th hour on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during the week of April 13-17, and teachers have the option of deciding whether or not their 5th period class will participate in the challenge.  If a teacher chooses to participate in the challenge, all students in his/her class must also participate.  The challenge was designed to promote free reading time, so participants must be allowed to choose their own reading material.  Please note that--per the challenge name--only print reading materials (books, newspapers, magazines, comic books, graphic novels, etc.) will be allowed.  

Earning Points

Participating classes will read 10 minutes each day, and the classroom teacher will be responsible for recording daily reading information on a Google Doc.  Five points will be awarded daily for each student who participates.  Ten points will be awarded daily for each teacher and/or associate who participates.  Bonus points can also be earned.  Five points can be earned for every minute of reading the class participates in beyond 10 minutes.  Ten bonus points will also be awarded for each student, teacher, and associate who complete a follow-up survey.

Prize

The winning class(es) will earn an ice cream party!
