Reading Across America Challenge March 1 - April 7
Rombout Middle School will be having a reading contest beginning today. The contest will run from March 1 - April 7. Here is how the contest will work:
Books will be tracked in two different ways. All students may use the digital program MyOn to read the books and take a quiz to prove they have read and understood the book. Students may also read hard copies and have a conversation about the book with Mrs. Edelman or Mrs. D’Ottavio. Remote students that choose to read hard copies will have a google meet set up to discuss the book(s). All participants will receive a digital recognition of reading achievement. More information about how winners will be chosen and the prizes that will be awarded is forthcoming.
