Everyone that READS has a chance to WIN BIG

This year the literacy program is called ROAD TO SUCCESS.

The Prizes this year are GREAT and well worth reading more minutes to try to WIN.  Students get one ticket for every 100 minutes they read and two tickets for reading over 140 minutes during a one week period.  Teachers will be tracking students' minutes and totals will be posted on a large banner outside the lunch room. 

(Parents you do not need to log in minutes for your student, teachers do this from the minutes you return each week or month with your student) 

Our first two drawings have happened and we have the winners for our October Reading.

                    December 10^th  6:00 – 7:30 pm

Please note that some students may have prop assignments. Please check with them to see what they are. They are all due by Dec. 3^rd practice.

     K-2 students will need to make one, hand size, village building. We are creating a village around a Christmas tree for one of our songs so the buildings need to be large enough for the audience to see but small enough to fit under a tree, (about the size of an adult hand). Some students may chose to make other items that one may see in a village (bushes, trees, light poles, etc.) instead of a house.

3-4 Students will need to have a pair of christmas/winter themed socks, the longer the better.  They can either wear them on their feet, OR they can turn them into a sock hand puppet. Having one for each hand would be best. (If they do both, that would also be an option)
