Open a book. Open your mind. Coming in February 2012 ... Reading Olympics |
Students in grades 3rd through 5th are invited to participate in Palmer's Reading Olympics challenge during the months of February to May. Participation is not required. It is a voluntary program meant to be a fun reading incentive.
To participate, a student reads any book from his grade's Reading Olympics list (last year's list appears below). Then the student takes a 10-question quiz in the Library. A student may take the quiz before school, after school, or during their library class time.
After a student has passed three quizzes, the Library Ladies invite the student to a party. The parties are held after school and are tentatively set as:
March: Cookies & Soda
April: Pop & Popcorn
May: Ice Cream Sundaes
Students may attend as few as one party or as many as all three. Some examples of how this works:
- if a student passes 3 quizzes before March, he will be invited to the March party.
- if a student passes only 1 quiz in March, 1 in April, and 1 in May (or any other combination of 3 quizzes prior to the May party), he will be invited to the May party only.
